[CP2K:7047] Re: Molecular crystal in a triclinic cell

[hut... at chem.uzh.ch]

Hi

there was a recent bug fix for the C9 term in the D3 method
for periodic systems. 
Please use a recent version (2.6 or later) or switch this term off.

CALCULATE_C9_TERM  FALSE

regards

Juerg

Thanks a lot. The default cutoff is ~20 angstroms, according to the manual, which is actually almost equal to my cell size in the longest direction (22 A). I suppose, default would be acceptable for the very first try.
Again, thank you.

Please try the following setting, and it should work, but you may need to check the convergence of R_CUTOFF (check the online manual for the default setting):
     &XC
       &XC_FUNCTIONAL  PBE
       &END XC_FUNCTIONAL
       &VDW_POTENTIAL
         POTENTIAL_TYPE  PAIR_POTENTIAL
         &PAIR_POTENTIAL
           TYPE  DFTD3
           PARAMETER_FILE_NAME ./dftd3.dat
           REFERENCE_FUNCTIONAL PBE

         &END PAIR_POTENTIAL
       &END VDW_POTENTIAL
     &END XC

Hello again,
As Matt suggested, the two-step optimization went more smoothly. As one might expect, the PBE + non-local vdw term result in underestimated (by at least 30%) cohesive energy and underestimated material density. Can someone help me with anything ready to use for the DFT+D3 scheme (p. 14 of http://www.cp2k.org/_media/events:2015_cecam_tutorial:ling_vdw.pdf) in CP2K? I checked out the supplement to the Grimme paper (http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/jcp/132/15/10.1063/1.3382344#c78), but this info is a bit beyond my level of expertise in these calculations. I am using CP2K v. 2.4.0. 
Thanks a bunch.
Alex
