Hi Prof. Gironcoli,
Thank you for your fast reply. I tried the following calculation. It gives
me
! total energy = -325.65235136 Ry.
But Some of rho values are negative when I do post processing. What could be
the possible reason?
&control
calculation = 'scf'
restart_mode='from_scratch',
prefix='Ge',
pseudo_dir = '$PSEUDO_DIR/',
outdir='$TMP_DIR/'
&system
ibrav= 0,
nat= 2, ntyp= 2,
occupations = 'smearing',smearing='marzari-vanderbilt',
degauss=0.05,
nosym=.true.,
ecutwfc = 110
ecutrho = 880
tot_charge = +3,
assume_isolated=.true.
/
&electrons
diagonalization = 'david',
mixing_mode = 'plain',
mixing_beta = 0.7
conv_thr = 1.0d-7
electron_maxstep=200
/
CELL_PARAMETERS cubic

ATOMIC_SPECIES

Thanks and Best Regards,
