Hi Frederick,<br /><br />Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.<div><br /></div><div>Best,</div><div><br /></div><div>Alberto <br /><br /></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">Il giorno lunedì 29 luglio 2024 alle 11:08:01 UTC+2 Frederick Stein ha scritto:<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>Dear Alberto,</div><div>- Did you check the convergence of EPS_SCHWARZ and EPS_SCHWARZ_FORCES (not set by you, check the manual)? With ADMM, it needs to be chosen tighter than without ADMM. You should also check the convergence of nuclear forces and the stress tensor.</div><div>- Why do you calculate the stress tensor numerically? This is usually not too accurate.</div><div>- The cell might be too small. Beware that HF energies with cutoff radii far below 5 A are usually not well converged. Compare this with your setup in CASTEP (if I understand it correctly).<br></div><div>You may also pre-optimize cell size and geometry independently of each other before optimizing them simultaneously.</div><div>Best,</div><div>Frederick<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">alberto santonocito schrieb am Montag, 29.
