<div>Dear Marcella,</div>Thank you for your advice. I am a beginner in theoretical calculation, and the parameters inside are set according to some information found. There should be a lot of unreasonable places, so I will try OT algorithm.<br /><br /><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">在2023年12月19日星期二 UTC+8 00:34:00<Marcella Iannuzzi> 写道:<br/></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div><br></div>Hi ...<div><br></div><div>As usual it is recommendable to ensure convergence of the electronic structure problem before starting MD</div><div>if the wave function is badly converged, the resulting forces are so wrong that any further step is meaningless</div><div><br></div><div>Given the limited knowledge on the system you are running, one can just guess. </div><div>You chose to run SCF with diagonalization and Broyden mixing, but no added mos and smearing, is there a reason?</div><div>OT would be more efficient in this case.

Is it because I have too many atoms (256)? Or which cut-off parameters are not appropriate? Or do I need to optimize the structure of the model first and then perform the AIMD calculation?<br></div></blockquote></div></blockquote></div>
