Convergence problem in scf using Hubbard
Date: 2018/02/04 19:17
Name: Mohammad   <mohammad.nakhaee.1@gmail.com>

I am about calculating the band-structure of a graphene nano-ribbon with a magnetic impurity such as Fe, Co and etc., but I have a difficulty in scf convergence. I set the Hubbard value U=2.4 eV for Fe atoms (d orbital) that I have found that from an article. Any help is appreciated. Here is my input file

Re: Convergence problem in scf using Hubbard ( No.1 )

Hi,

By dropping your input file to OpenMX Viewer, it was confirmed that
your setting for the lattice vector of a-axis seems to be wrong.
The structure is not ribbon but a rather molecule with dangling bonds.
This would be the reason why the SCF convergence is difficult.

Regards,
