[gpaw-users] LCAO mode + Ni basis + large system error

[Chengjun Jin]

Dear All,

I  got errors when I did a standard DFT on a large system with DZP basis (see the error and inputs below, the structure is attached).

Some facts:
*The error occurs only in LCAO mode, not FD mode.
*If I reduce the basis set from 'dzp' to 'sz', it works well.
*With 'dzp' basis, If I replace Ni by Au, it also works.

I guess it may relate to the Ni basis set. Any idea to fix it?

Regards,
Chengjun
