[CP2K-user] [CP2K:17030] Re: SCF convergence - CoO for XAS Calculation

[Marcella Iannuzzi]

Dear Börries, 

The calculation in CoO_calc_DIAG.out also did not converge. 
Actually the SCF shows a rather weird behaviour. 
The difference in number of ERIs  integrals- and then in timings- between 
the two calculations (OT and DIAG) is rather large, and it is caused by the 
setting of
EPS_SCHWARZ 1.0E-5 
in the OT calculation. This value is absolutely too large, and might also 
be one of the reasons why the ground state electronic structure does not 
converge.
It is not recommendable to start the XAS calculation before obtaining a 
well converged ground state. 

Regards
Marcella
