Dear Wien2k users,
I am facing an error in the first scf cycle. Unfortunately, I am
unable to find the information that would guide me down to the core of
the problem. I would appreciate any guidance from you!
It is a spin-polarized calculation of CrN. The error appear at the end
of the first cycle:

mixer.error is not really helpful: "Error in MIXER"
Perhaps some hint is in the case.outputm file:
...
JATOM = 11 J = 2
ESX = -5.7200202706E+02 OCC = 2.0000000000E+00 2.0000000000E+00
ESUM,EKIN = -94314.3061676110083 0.000000000000000000E+00
JATOM = 11 J = 3
ESX = -4.8320954414E+02 OCC = 2.0000000000E+00 2.0000000000E+00
ESUM,EKIN = -94886.3081946670136 0.000000000000000000E+00
JATOM = 11 J = 4
ESX = -9.5116518730E+02 OCC = 4.0000000000E+00 4.0000000000E+00
ESUM,EKIN = -95369.5177388110169 0.000000000000000000E+00
JATOM = 12 J = 1
ESX = -5.
The struct file contains 12 in-equivalent atoms (6 N, 6 Cr), atom 12
is the last Cr.
I am not sure whether you need more information to track the problem -
if so, I am happy to share it, of course.
Perhaps last comment is: I am trying to calculate the N-K energy edge
onset for various magnetic configurations as a difference between the
ground state and excited state with core hole (extra electron in
case.in2 file). Exactly the same settings in non-magnetic case (only
different initial spin given in instgen_lapw for Cr atom (up vs. nm)
and scf invoked by run_lapw instead of runsp_lapw) runs without any
trouble.
Thanks in advance for you help!
David
