syntax and parameters is in the cp2k input reference manual.

BTW: it would be nice to have an explanation for the requirement
of FFTSG as preferred FFT, it seemed to work with FFTW3 as well and
i would have expected the code to crash or refuse the run, if
this was a "hard" requirement.

i would consider 20% vacuum (how do you compute it?) to be far too
little for MT p-solver. you may get away with it if your system has
favorable error cancellation, but i would not depend on it.

formally, the MT p-solver requires a box of twice the size of a
sphere that encloses the total charge density of your molecule
(i.e. atoms _and_ electron density). i can see small errors crop
up on my (weakly interacting) test system starting from exactly
the %50 mark and then the errors became intolerably large at
having 40% vacuum.
