[CP2K:4620] Re: energy drift in NPT MD simulation

[Bonakala Satyanarayana]

Dear Seitsonen,
             Thank you for your reply.
1) I performed NVT simulation with same input, what I have enclosed. It ran
well. These are the converged energy values:
 ENERGY| Total FORCE_EVAL ( QS ) energy (a.u.):
 -7812.764025944994501
 ENERGY| Total FORCE_EVAL ( QS ) energy (a.u.):
 -7812.749474147461115
 ENERGY| Total FORCE_EVAL ( QS ) energy (a.u.):
 -7812.722559495744463
 ENERGY| Total FORCE_EVAL ( QS ) energy (a.u.):
 -7812.689485930668525
 ENERGY| Total FORCE_EVAL ( QS ) energy (a.u.):
 -7812.657322690376532
 ENERGY| Total FORCE_EVAL ( QS ) energy (a.u.):
 -7812.631945457889742
 ENERGY| Total FORCE_EVAL ( QS ) energy (a.u.):
 -7812.616274832782437
 ENERGY| Total FORCE_EVAL ( QS ) energy (a.u.):
 -7812.609299468986137
2) I have taken cut-off as per literature (Elucidating the Breathing of the
Metal–Organic Framework MIL-53(Sc) with ab Initio Molecular Dynamics
Simulations and in Situ X-ray Powder Diffraction Experiments, Duren et al.,
JACS). Here, they have tested for  MIL MOFs and reported optimum cut-off is
350 Ry.

Dear Hutter,

1) Yes, my system is stable in NVT simulation

2) Det( stress tensor) values are
  Det(stress tensor)      :  -7.84528984E-04
  Det(stress tensor)      :  -1.66559235E-02
  Det(stress tensor)      :  -1.44160312E+00
  Det(stress tensor)      :   2.03287049E+02
  Det(stress tensor)      :  -4.82023324E+03
  Det(stress tensor)      :   4.36251297E+07
  BAROSTAT temperature is increasing:
  BAROSTAT TEMP[K]             =          0.250067070500E+03
  BAROSTAT TEMP[K]             =          0.407906043312E+05
  BAROSTAT TEMP[K]             =          0.373591928441E+06
  BAROSTAT TEMP[K]             =          0.458891514234E+08

3) SCF convergence is smooth. I enclosed the convergence vs steps


Thank you
