Dear Vasp Users and administrator
I am now woking the magnetic impurity in ZnO by Vasp (ver4.6).
ZnO (3*3*2 supercell) we set two V with
But, the calculation does not converged until 100 SCF cycle.
We set mixing parameter
AMIX=0.1
BMIX=0.0001
AMIX_MAG=0.1
BMIX_MAG=0.0001
but it does not converged. How should we treat such a difficult convergence
problem or does my calculation has mistake?
We set POTCAR file by V_sv pawGGA in V atom.
If I can get some suggestion, I'm very happy.
My input INCAR file are

magnetic impurity in ZnO non-convergence problem
1. Your POSCAR is not correct. the lattice constant of ZnO is a = 3.25 Angstrom and c = 5.2 A. so, a 3*3*2 supercell's c will be 10.4 A.
19.673, in your POSCAR, is large then the correct value. so the wrong structure may cause the difficult convergence.
2. MAGMOM = 70*0 1 -1, is equivalent to yours.

Dear Liuhongfei.
Thank you for find my mistake, and sorry for my stupid mistake.
I set Bohr unit for the lattice constant instead of Angstrom.
Sincerely.
