- Hello, dear developers and users!
I have a problems with calculating bandsctructure Nd-containing perovskite (cubic NdAlO3). After calculation I have bands about zero-level, but it is false, from my point of view (and experimental results). Please, point out my mistakes.
And the second. I needed 91 iterations for the convergence of the SCF. Such a perovskite, YAlO3, needed only 22 iterations, and the band structure was similar to the reference one (from materialsproject). How I can flexible driving scf parameters for convergence for small amount of iterations?
Thanks!
