I am copying my input file for vc-relax calculation of energy of 4 atomic layer thin film. Can anybody suggest me something for convergence.<br>
Thanks in advance...<br><br>&control<br> calculation = 'vc-relax',<br> restart_mode='from_scratch',<br> nstep=200,<br> outdir='/home/rajpala/Desktop/wurtzite4',<br> pseudo_dir='/home/rajpala/Desktop/wurtzite4'<br>
