a GEO_OPT calculation of calcite

[Mengjia He]

Thank you SL.

I've no idea that A combination of Cartesian coordinates and HEXAGONAL cell 
could be a mistake, because I always used it for MD by CP2K. I have some 
confusions for transforming the Cartesian coordinates input file to 
fractional coordinates input file.

Would you please attach the input file for me?

Setting the mass of carbon atoms to 2.016 is my mistake while I copied it 
from my another input file.

Cheers.
