Hi, energyone 

I want use cp2k to optimzie the cell of TiO2, The following is the input

When completing, It give the cell parameters:
5.54 5.58 2.96
and the Coordinate:
Ti         0.4095385769        0.2898267710       -0.0352843895
Ti         3.1801930298        2.1516147238        1.4539613109
 O         1.9175831463        1.4494611116       -0.0449395166
 O         3.4936489849        3.0632060642       -0.0346941550

 O         4.6832547080        0.9868972431        1.4635018888

The a and b is remarkable larger than exp. value. More importantly, Some 
Ti-O bond are broken, see the fig. below:
  
Anyone can give suggestion about how to do it?
