[CP2K:6130] Non-integer total number of Alpha/Beta Electrons

[Marcella Iannuzzi]

Hi

I do not agree. One uses the smearing for metallic systems, and the Fermi 
energy of the two spin channels has to be the same.
This is not the case if the electrons are not free to fill the lowest 
energy states, irrespective of the spin.

regards
Marcella
