[CP2K-user] [CP2K:18832] Re: Convergence problem

[Marcella Iannuzzi]

Hi 

Use ATOMIC for SCF_GUESS
The SZV basis sets are rather poor.
Use the same EPS_SCF for inner and outer SCF loop
Set smaller MAX_SCF for the inner SCF loop (20/30), such that the 
preconditioner can be properly re-initialized
Use the default value for EPS_DEFAULT 
Remove the section on mixing, it is not used when OT runs


regards
Marcella
