[CP2K:1382] Re: k-point sampling in CP2K

[carlo antonio pignedoli]

Dear Spak,

If you look the problem from a different side..

if you need to simulate a "large" system and you use, let's say,
a supercell taht is 8x8x8 of a unit cell... maybe gamma point could be enough.

I think that work on metals with cp2k is coming out.
Of course one should always make a lot of tests.

If you want to describe a metal with a small unit cell then.. OK
better to use k-points

Ciao

Carlo
