[Pw_forum] convergence NOT achieved after 100 iterations: stopping

[Cao TF]

Dear QE users
   Recently, I have done some calculation of BN sheet with hydrogen atoms adsorbed on it.  The problem is that when I let hydrogen atoms adsorb on the N atoms. The calculation is hard to converge. Although, I have changed mixing_beta and the number of K points. The problem have not been solved. Dose anyone have some experience on such kind of calculations? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Here is my input file.
