[CP2K-user] transition_metal_oxide-all_electron_GAPW-Preconditioner_SCF_convergence

[林敏]

Dear cp2k experts,


I am doing the single point calcualtions of 3d transition metal oxide, 
using all electron GAPW method.


When I using preconditioner= FULL_ALL, some cases converge very fast, in 
several tens of scf cycles, some cases can not converge, the charge 
distance becoming constant, like this:

I feel like that it's very strange, because those case have same chemical 
componment,different space group, all other setup keep the same. (see the 
attchment)


What is the reason ?


When I use preconditioner= FULL_KINETIC, both cases get converge, but very 
slow,(several thousand scf cycles).


So it looks like that FULL_ALL can get very fast converge, but sometimes is 
promatic, how to solve it?

Best,


Min
