Re: run time error
this error message indicates that Brent's interpolation algorithm fails to extrapolate a new position
from the available information gathered from the previous steps. One of the reasons may be that the
E-minimum is very shallow and / or the run is already converged within the requested accuracy. Please
check the convergence behavior (changes in total energies in the last ionic steps)
It may help to switch to a different algorithm (eg Quasi-Newton IBRION = 1) and to set ADDGRID = .True.
