[Pw_forum] Band Strcture calculation with PW

[Claudio Attaccalite]

Hi I just
stared to use PWSCF and I have a problem to calculate the band structure of
an hexagonal BN sheet
It seems that the conduction states do not converge, any hints?
This are my input files:


**************** BN SCF ****************
 &control
    calculation = 'scf'
    restart_mode='from_scratch',
    prefix='hbn',
    pseudo_dir = '/home/attacc/espresso-3.1.1/pseudo/',
    outdir='/home/attacc/tmp/'
 /
 &system
    ibrav=  4
    celldm(1) = 4.7177372151
    celldm(3) = 10
    nat=  2
    ntyp= 2
    ecutwfc =25.0,
 /
 &electrons
    diagonalization='cg'
    mixing_mode = 'plain'
    mixing_beta = 0.7
    conv_thr =  1.0d-8
