<span>Hi,<br>
What Jürg meant was to use the following XC_FUNCTIONAL section<br>
&XC_FUNCTIONAL<br>
&MGGA_X_R2SCAN<br>
&END<br>
&MGGA_C_R2SCAN<br>
&END<br>
&END<br></span><div><span>
Do not pass a keyword to the &XC_FUNCTIONAL section because the
R2SCAN functional is not predefined within CP2K. This setup requires
support for LibXC (default with toolchain and most center-provided
distributions).</span></div><br><div>If this still does not help, could you please provide your new input file (and potentially also output files) such that we are on the same page as you.</div><div><br><span></span></div><span>

<br>in addition you might want to try the r2SCAN functional

<br>Hello Vibhav Yadav
<br>
<br>Try a smaller ALPHA for the MIXING, something like 0.005
<br>Remove OUTER_SCF
<br>Increase MAX_SCF
<br>
<br>Regards

<br>Dear CP2K admins/users,
<br>
<br>I am trying run a GEO_OPT calculation on InP. with pseudo-hydrogen passivation along-with the bulk being fixed using the SCAN XC_FUNCTIONAL.
<br>I am facing the problem of the SCF cycles not converging, or dropping below 1.0E-2.
<br>
<br>Could you let me know what's the problem, or additional criteria I should be incorporating.
<br>
<br>I have attached the input file below.
<br>Few of the things that cannot be removed from the input file are:
<br>1.) Pseudo-hydrogen, vacuum and the CONSTRAINT subsection.
<br>
<br>Thank you for your time and consideration.
