Hello CP2K community,<br /><br />Happy Thursday. I am reaching out because I have been using PERIODIC_EFIELD with NPT (1200 K, 1 atm) on a system with 64 Al atoms and 2 CO2 molecules.<br /><br /><div>I have run a total of 96 h of CPU time spread over 4 runs, and I occasionally hit a point where SCF does not converge. I am wondering how I could fix this issue - I did not have the same problem when running the exact same system without the electric field.<br /><br />Can anyone give me suggestions for troubleshooting?<br /><br />My guess is that there might an issues with the magnitude I specified for the electric field. I used ca. 1 V for a given reactor size, and translated that to a.u.<br /><br />I attached my latest output file, the restart file for it, the xyz file for the last run and a document containing the pressure, temp and unit cell volume over simulation time graphs and a couple snapshots of the structure from Avogadro. I will follow up to include the RDF plot in the next few hours.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you so much!<br /><br />Michela<br /><br /></div>
