Dear. I'm new user cp2k, I need to simulate vibrational spectra of molecular 
dynamics and used the tutorials working with TRAVIS program. Unfortunately 
already I made several efforts according to several posts made, but I can 
not simulate a simple spectrum of a water molecule. Could anyone help me to 
see if there is something to do in the input to improve the outcome. What I 
observe is a molecule finds rotation around its own axis. I am sending 
attached files and graphs obtained.

Thank you for your help.

*** Definition of system-wide IR spectrum ***


>>> Infrared Spectrum >>>


>>> Dipole definition >>>

    TRAVIS can calculate dipole moments either from wannier centers (you need
    to have those in the trajectory then) or from fixed atomic partial charges.

    Obtain dipole vectors from wannier centers (y/n)? [yes] 

    Atom type X is excluded from system, probably the wannier centers.

    Which atom label do the wannier centers have (H, O, X)? [X] 
    Enter the negative charge of the wannier centers (without sign): [2.0] 

    Enter core charge (mind pseudopotentials!) for atom type H: [1.0] 
    Enter core charge (mind pseudopotentials!) for atom type O: [6.0] 

  - Wannier center 4 belongs to H2O[1] O1 (30 pm).
  - Wannier center 5 belongs to H2O[1] H1 (44 pm).
  - Wannier center 6 belongs to H2O[1] O1 (30 pm).
  - Wannier center 7 belongs to H2O[1] H2 (44 pm).


  - Molecule H2O contains 4 wannier centers. Total charge is 8.00 - 8.00 = 0.00

  - H2O:  Dipole reference point is #1.

    Calculating dipole moments from first time step...

  - H2O:  Min.       1.8508, Max.       1.8508, Avg.       1.8508 Debye.
     Cartesian dipole vector is ( 9.56247E-07 |        0 |   1.8508 ).



<<< End of Dipole definition <<<

    Hint: The resolution of the ACF may never be higher than the number of processed steps.
          Suggested is 75 percent of the processed steps, but not more than approx. 16384.

    Enter the resolution (=depth) of the dipole ACF (in time steps): [1343] 

    CalcFFTSize(): 1343 = 2^1 * 3^3 * 5^2 - 7. Prime factors other than 2, 3, 5 not allowed.

    The next "fast" size for FFT is 1350. Using this instead of 1343 as depth.

    This corresponds to a spectral resolution of 24.7085 cm^-1.

    A time step length of 0.5 fs allows a spectral range up to 33356.4 cm^-1.

    Calculate spectrum up to which wave number (cm^-1)? [5000.0 cm^-1] 

    CalcFFTSize(): 5400 = 2^3 * 3^3 * 5^2. All prime factors within 2, 3, 5. Fine.

    Zero padding increases the spectral resolution to 6.1771 cm^-1.

    Convert intensity axis of spectrum to decibel (y/n)? [no] 
    ACF: Trying to reserve 21.09 KB of memory...

<<< End of Infrared Spectrum <<<


    Not wrapping molecules into the box.

    Not removing center of mass movement of the box.

    Skip repeated time steps (y/n)? [no] 
    In which time step to start processing the trajectory? [1] 
    How many time steps to use (from this position on)? [all] 
    Use every n-th time step from the trajectory? [1] 

    Using 1791 time steps: Every 1st within range 1 - approx. 1791.
