[Pw_forum] problem regrading convergence

[bramha pandey]

Dear all PW users,
I m facing convergence problem with my LiInTe2 system. I have reduced the
scf threshold, mixing from 0.7 to 0.8, ecut from 110Ry to 150Ry
But i could not find my convergence after 100 iterations it was stop with
message, convergence not achieved as my system it should not take much
iteration might be i am  wrong. Also i was using Gamma point for fast
convergence with CG diagonalization mehod
Please look my input file....
