Hello Eric,

I am referring to the the SCF cycle. The values just never converge. It goes up and down.

Best,

SCF does not converge for Band Structure

I need to have the SCF converge for my band structure calculation. However, I tried both toldfe and toldff for this convergence and does not work even with nstep 100. But, I was able get a converged ecut, ngkpt, and did the relaxation for the 2D material. Can somebody share some tips on how to ease ...

Help with various Pseudopotential files read in

Hello all,
I am having trouble reading in a pseudopotential file for silicon based on Tutorial 3. In the tbase3_x.files, I changed the the last line to Si.GGA_PBE-JTH.xml. This was the only change I made in all. Please help me fix my error. Thanks! P.S. I attached two photos below of the code.
