non convergence calculation problem!
Date: 2006/11/02 02:37
Name: sabri   <msmajdoub@uh.edu>

Dear Opemmx users,

I am trying to relax a cluster sphere of NaCl of 6A radius under different values of stains.
My reference state is the undeformed sphere wich I just relaxed using DIIS solver.
The run convergence and give me the new relaxed positions of the atoms of the NaCl sphere what we called the reference state at reference energy. Since I want to evaluate the total energy for each case of strain, I am applying a tridiagonal strain by increasing basically the radius of the relaxed sphere by 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.5%. I have used the same code for the reference run and just changed the new atomic positions. Results are not converging.

If anyone have an idea about what is going wrong please let me know.

Thank you for the help in advance.

Regards,

Hi,

Your structure seems to be unphysical.
For example, the atom 6 is almost positioned
in the atom 33.
