[CP2K:7840] Printing Core Charges for Bader analysis

Hi

You may try this tool, see:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ddec/

Although the tool was originally developed to perform partial charge
analysis using another method (see
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ct100125x), the tool can produce a cube
file which contains the core electron density based on some reference
densities (included in the DDEC program). You can then perform Bader charge
analysis on this new cube file using the tool developed by Henkelman.
Please have a look at the manual included in the DDEC program. You may need
to change some of the parameters (number of core electrons) in the DDEC
program, as the GTH pseudopotentials used by CP2K may correspond to
different numbers of core electrons.
