Dear feihu liu ,
the convergence problem is due to numerical errors in the conjugate
gradient algorithm.
You can try to play with the parameters related to the minimisation
procedure,
for example the preconditioner.
The EMSL basis sets can be used with GAPW, provided that you slightly
modify
the format to make it properly readable by cp2k.
Is the ground state calculation also giving different results by changing
XC_DERIV and
XC_SMOOTH_RHO? If yes, first you need to converge at best the GS, before
starting any linear response.
With a bad GS starting point the LS can give very wrong results.
Kind regards,
Marcella
