[CP2K:7152] MD calculation water on Pt

Hi Sergey,

the Siepmann-Sprik potential assumes intact water molecules at the
interface. In your case, some dissociation seems to take place. It is
checked with a simple distance criterion if we have 2 hydrogens per oxygen.
You get the error message:  *Error in Siepmann-Sprik part: too many H
atoms, *i.e. more than 2 hydrogen per oxygen found.
The keyword ALLOW_OH_FORMATION ignores that and doesn't calculate the T3
term of the Siepmann-Sprik potential for this MD step. So the program won't
stop. This keyword was actually intended for cases where water is described
at the QM level, but you can try it as well.
It's  strange that you have this behavior at the SPC level. However, the
temperature development of your MD is very weird and has extreme jumps. So
it's maybe not surprising that your O-H bonds are strangely stretched. So
better control your MD setup and parameters.
btw: examples for the Siepmann-Sprik potential can be found in the
regtests: /cp2k/tests/Fist/regtest-6/

Best regards,
Dorothea
