Hello, everyone,
I am using the cp2k qmmm to optimize the structure of Pt6 supported
on Al2O3 surface. But I encounter a problem about the
convergence of the qmmm.
1) Firstly, the scf of the QM part converges strangely like this:
All of the QM SCF converges within two steps, and the second number in the
Covergence column is always zero.
Step Update method Time Convergence Total
energy Change
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Broy./Dav. 0.40E+00 4.1 2.02291583 -81.2822944519
-8.13E+01
2 Broy./Dav. 0.40E+00 5.8 0.0000E+00 -70.8618426104
1.04E+01
*** SCF run converged in 2 steps ***
2) Then, the convergence for the structure is also strange.
I want the max force is below 0.05 eV/A, so I use something like this
&GEO_OPT
MAX_ITER 20
OPTIMIZER LBFGS
MAX_FORCE [eV*angstrom^-1] 0.05
&END GEO_OPT
But fininally, the program ends "normally" with this massage (shown
below). Obviously, In the previous Convergence check, the maxforce is
larger
Than what I want.
Convergence check :
Max. step size = 0.0000000000
Conv. limit for step size = 0.0030000000
Convergence in step size = YES
RMS step size = 0.0000000000
Conv. limit for RMS step = 0.0015000000
Convergence in RMS step = YES
Max. gradient = 0.5334857508
Conv. limit for gradients = 0.0009723453
Conv. for gradients = NO
RMS gradient = 0.0328663882
Conv. limit for RMS grad. = 0.0003000000
Conv. for gradients = NO
---------------------------------------------------
--------------------------
OPTIMIZATION STEP: 2
--------------------------
***********************************************
* Specific L-BFGS convergence criteria
* WANTED_PROJ_GRADIENT and WANTED_REL_F_ERROR
* satisfied .... run CONVERGED!
***********************************************
So, what is the source of this error in my calculation.
Thank you for any advice !
