[CP2K:1372] EAM Force Field for Au

[Laino Teodoro]

Dear Roger,

I guess the best thing for you is to have a look at the routine that  
reads the EAM potential.
 From that one I'm sure you will be able to find out the structure of  
the pot file and
finally translate the file you have (it is difficult anyway to say  
how you should translate it
if we don't know the structure of your file.. so better you do it!).
The subroutine that reads eam is read_eam_data in force_fields_input.F.

It would be kind if once you find it, you follow up on this thread  
your results.
So, if someone will need it in the future, the search will be quicker.

cheers,
Teo
