Unusual Behavior of CELL opt progress of CP2K26

[Babu]

hi, Jianfeng Jia,

Can you please describe how you define
      &CELL
       A     3.9239  0.0000000000000000E+00    0.0000000000000000E+00
       B     0.0000000000000000E+00    3.9239   0.0000000000000000E+00
       C     0.0000000000000000E+00    0.0000000000000000E+00    3.9239     
 these values for your pt atom.
