Actually I am an Abinitio user and I am very new in AIMD. And the part MD is a kind of black box for me. But before doing AIMD, and along with studying precious book of prof. Hutter, i decided to get familliar to the program package with the aid of the excerices. Yes this an isolated part of a crystal. A first building block of a MOF. Before your answer, I did some modification in the input. For example i turned on the periodic option and as a result, the menrioned fluctuation disappeared and scf coverged. But what if I do not want to use periodic system and just optimize this isolated part?</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 20, 2019 6:19 PM, "Marcella Iannuzzi" <<a href="javascript:" target="_blank" gdf-obfuscated-mailto="eXogwZPlBQAJ" rel="nofollow" onmousedown="this.href='javascript:';return true;" onclick="this.href='javascript:';return true;">marc...@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Either the structure or the DFT setting must have serious problems, since the SCF is never converging. <div>For example in SUBSYS you use "periodic none" with a box of 15 Å, but your system seems to be larger than that.</div><div>On the other hand, POISSON is still using PBC.
