I have a better understanding now. Thanks.
As I asked in the last post, if GHOST T and BASIS_SET NONE are  given, the
atom will be a true ghost. This means POTENTIAL should be no longer needed.
But the job won't get running unless POTENTIAL .... is given. How come that
happens?

Could you please explain in a little more detail how the mapping and free
energy module (ALCHEMICAL CHANGE in my case, I think) work in cp2k? Or give
some references I can read. I noticed that there are some input examples in
/cp2k/tests/FE directory, but I am afraid that I can't understand them.
Thanks.
