[CP2K-user] [CP2K:21744] Re: Issue related to SCF convergence

[Aditya Shukla]

step size should be 0.5 as you are using H (in CH4), also you have taken 
very tough eps_default value, check by incresing it -10 or -9 and use 
eps_scf explicitly and put loose convergence criteria for it. Use eps_scf 
explicitly and put its value 1.0E-05. I am also learning cp2k, but if you 
want you try it out...
