Professor Graeme,
Thanks for your kindness and patience!
Now I think I know more about how to adjust the art of optimization. Simle :).
I have another two questions here.
The first one is that when we are performing a NEB calculation, the scripts neb.pl and vef.pl will give us, respectively, the ...

Re: CI-NEB forces are fluctuating and calculations cannot converge
Thank you, Professor Graeme! Can you give some advice about how to choose the different IOPT settings? Should I continue your calculation with the same setting, that is IOPT = 3, or maybe I need to try IOPT = 2 and EDIFF = 1E-7, for it is near the saddle point.
And I am also a little puzzled about ...

CI-NEB forces are fluctuating and calculations cannot converge
Dear vtst developers,
I am working on an alloy system on which a carbon dioxide will absorb and then dissociate into a carbon monoxide and an oxygen atom. I am calculating the ernergy barrier but some problems appeared.
In the step1, I just used the one Gamma point and IBRION = 3;LCLIMB = .TRUE ...
