• Re: Very slow Ni convergence Re: Very slow Ni convergence Please try attached.I could get the system converged with it in 69 steps.Please note that exchange_correlation(LSDA or SGGA) must be designated explicitly in the script in order to do spin-polarized calculation properly.

• Re: Very slow Ni convergence Re: Very slow Ni convergence Increasing the history to 15 seems to improve, as the dE term now actually manages to reach the set limit of 1e-06. However, the dH term keeps oscillating and doesn't become smaller than the set limit.
