<p>Dear K.AK,</p>
<p>your SCF convergence is unstable from the very beginning. I would
question the choice of FULL_ALL preconditioner and DIIS minimizer.</p>
<p>I wonder if DIIS is about to behave well in complicated systems.
FULL_ALL may be sensitive to ENERGY_GAP parameter, AFAIR.<br>
</p>
<p>Have you tried to allow the default OT settings?</p>
<p>Plainly, something like that:<br>
</p>
<p>
<blockquote type="cite"> &SCF<br>
EPS_SCF 1.0E-07<br>
&OT<br>
&END OT <br>
&OUTER_SCF<br>
EPS_SCF 1.0E-07<br>
&END OUTER_SCF<br>
&END SCF<br>
</blockquote>
If this does not work, I would first consider change to
PRECONDITIONER FULL_SINGLE_INVERSE ; MAX_SCF 150 ; LINESEARCH
GOLD.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Anton<br>

<p>I wonder if this question can be answered shortly and via
definitive set of instructions, it worth a long manual
addressing various sources of the solution instability.</p>
<p>In your case, you should first start with OT optimizer,
it is quite robust algorithm and should converge
reasonably for your system. </p>
<p>If you see any problems, try to check your geometry first
- it can be tricky to prepare input files from real CIF
data for a number of reasons. If there are still problems,
please show us the problematic output.</p>
<p>By the way, UiO-66 is a Zr MOF, isn't it? But I can't see
Zr atoms in your input. Is it correct?<br>
</p>

<br>
Thank you for your helps, Anton Lytvynenko and Jürg
Hutter. <br>
<br>
<br>
Following your advices, I have reviewed the
calculation conditions. I have created a new input
file, and Could you please verify this? <br>
<br>
I would proceed with the calculation under these
conditions. Now, the calculation time is approximately
120 s per step. <br>
<br>
Also, this is a general question, but what should I do
if the calculation does not converge in the periodic
boundary calculation? <br>
<br>
<br>
Many thanks, <br>
<br>

Hi <br>
<br>
a few general remarks: <br>
<br>
For the use of hybrid functionals in PBC, you should
use an interaction <br>
potential with a cutoff (6 Angstrom should be ok). <br>
<br>
Make sure that you have enough memory to keep the
integrals in core <br>
(print HF_INFO, set MEMORY). <br>
<br>
EPS_SCHWARZ can most likely be set to 1.E-08. <br>
<br>
Restart from a GGA wavefunction and set
SCREEN_ON_INITIAL_P true. <br>
<br>
EPS_DEFAULT 1.E-10 is most likely good enough. <br>
<br>
Don't set EPS_FIT and EPS_PGF_ORB, defaults will be
good enough. <br>
Ignore the HFX warning about occupation or follow
advice in comment. <br>
<br>
REL_CUTOFF should be 60 <br>
<br>
GAPW with 6-31G basis might not be a good choice.
Consider GPW/MOLOPT basis sets. In the latter case use
ADMM! <br>
<br>
For MOFs I would advice to use vdW corrections. <br>
<br>
I don't know what the reason behind the fixed K atom
is. But this will cause <br>
convergence problems in the geometry optimization. It
might also <br>
interfere with CENTER_COORDINATES (why use it for a
periodic system?). <br>
<br>
regards <br>
JH <br>
<br>

Subject: [CP2K:19549] MOF optimization <br>
<br>
Dear experts, <br>
<br>
I try to optimize MOF structure by performing periodic
DFT calculations. <br>
<br>
I have performed the calculations under the periodic
conditions of the attached input file. <br>
<br>
But, the computation time is very long and the
convergence is not good. <br>
<br>
Please advise about the cp2k simulation method and
input file. <br>
<br>
The input files have been attached below. <br>
<br>
<br>
Many thanks, <br>
K.AK <br>
