Need advice for setting CP2K input for all electron CAM-B3LYP calculations

[Kun-Han Lin]

Dear Professor Hutter,

Thank you for your advice. I did some test for my system. Since I need a 
large cell for the umbrella sampling coordinate space, it took me 
lots of time to converge. Maybe I'll try something else or other softwares. 
Thanks for your help.

Best,
Kun-Han
