[CP2K:6104] Re: Is it possible to set charge on a specific atom in a system?

[Marcella Iannuzzi]

Hi 

Indeed the BS initialisation might work to localise the charge, even if not 
in combination with open shell calculations. 
This is true if the electronic structure with the localised charge is at 
least a metastable minimum. 
In this case, BS helps the convergence to this state. If not, then the 
electrons will be redistributed by the optimisation. 

regards
Marcella
