[CP2K-user] [CP2K:16815] SCF didn't cocnverge

[flancli97 at gmail.com]

Hi Matthias, 

I am very glad to receive your reply. Now it is running ,and to see the 
first SCF result.

I have a question about &MIXING and &SMEAR sections , what does ALPHA 
parameter and ELECTRONIC_TEMPERATURE mean? I want to know what  will be  
controlled by this parameter?

I am sorry that the last message was replied in the wrong place.
Best regards!
Andy
