<div dir="ltr">I see three things. First, use higher CUTOFF. With a REL_CUTOFF of 60 and oxygen pseudo (higher gaussian exponent ~12) a CUTOFF of 720 is necessary. Second, you are usign the LBFGS optimizer with a little cell (just 96 atoms), it is better BFGS. And the third and the most important, CuO is antiferromagnetic, so you have to set the magnetization for Cu centers, no just the whole system multiplicity.<div>Maybe this paper is useful: <a href="https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.87.115111">https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.87.115111</a><br><div><br></div><div>Regards - Lucas</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">El sáb, 6 ago 2022 a las 16:48, <a href="mailto:mdsimula...@gmail.com">mdsimula...@gmail.com</a> (<<a href="mailto:mdsimulationgroup@gmail.com">mdsimulationgroup@gmail.com</a>>) escribió:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I am attempting to cell_opt a 2x3x2 super cell of CuO using PBE-D3.
