[CP2K:4512] Overestimate Cu lattice parameter

[Duy Le]

I used 1000 atoms already. Not sure how many did you use? I saw in a paper
they use 8x8x8 supercell.

overestimated by a lot. I found much smaller values, close to experimental
value, in some other works using CP2K. Would anyone please point out  my
beginner errors in my input. I used 10x10x10 supercell.
