Hi,

the simplest polymer system wouldn'd converge the first SCF cycle after 100 iterations. I would appreciate any comments

iteration #100     ecut=    25.00 Ry     beta=0.50
     Davidson diagonalization with overlap
     ethr =  4.79E-07,  avg # of iterations =  8.9

     negative rho (up, down):  0.466E-01 0.000E+00

     total cpu time spent up to now is  35393.00 secs

     total energy              =  -323.97794967 Ry
     Harris-Foulkes estimate   =  -323.97794161 Ry
     estimated scf accuracy    <     0.00009414 Ry

     End of self-consistent calculation

     convergence NOT achieved after 100 iterations: stopping
