[CP2K:1344] Genpot Units

[Laino Teodoro]

Carlos,

have a look at:

http://cp2k.berlios.de/input/ 
InputReference~__ROOT__~FORCE_EVAL~MM~FORCEFIELD~NONBONDED~GENPOT.html

specifically at the keyword: VALUES.

I will repeat the content of what you can find on the web:

VALUES
Defines the values of parameter of the functional form
This required keyword expects a list of reals, and may repeat.  
Default unit: [internal_cp2k].

this means that you can specify your preference unit of measure for  
the value of the parameters.
It's not hardcoded. and if you don't provide them.. well the standard  
is internal_cp2k which is atomic units.
