Geometry optimization input

[Shweta Choudhary]

Hi all,

Can anyone provide geometry optimization input with Kpoints. With the input on cp2k.org, I am unable to converge scf even after 1000 steps. 

Many thanks!

Sorry, what have you tried that does not work?

If anything doesn't work or at least seem to improve after a few tens of steps you might want to check if it makes sense.

Hi Matt,

I am trying to optimize MoS2 unit-cell of 3 atoms. Here is the input file:
