    Dear Users,

    I have been trying to optimize the electronic structure of the Mn2CoSn for a while. Finally, I just found the suitable parameters for a smooth calculation without errors.
    But the electronic structure does not seem to converge after 500 steps. I have checked the net magnetic moment/f.u and it seems to converge after a few iterations and there is no oscilalltions on it.
    Could you please shed light on this?

    Best regards,

    ipek


    here is the last part of the magnetic moment versus step number

    Hello Semran,

    What is the content of the INFO.OUT file? Did it the SCF converge? diverge? oscillate?

    Please post both the elk.in and INFO.OUT....please only the last few hundred lines of INFO.OUT if it went through 500 cycles.

    Best,

    RN
