CP2K problems, SCC_DFTB, Full Periodic System, Slab optimizations

Dear all,

I am trying to use CP2K to perform SCC-DFTB simulations, I've got some
doubts
about how is it possible to calculate a full periodic system (pyrite bulk
and its surface) using SCC-DFTB approach.

I tried to use MONKHOST-PACK approach to calculate it, but a error
occurred, saing that the
WF  based interpolation method is not possible for kpoints. To solve this
problem I used the
 flag "SCHEME NONE" in the KPOINTS section (but I need a calculation
considering the
periodic boudary condictions).

A second error occured when I tried to calculate the pyrite (100) surface,
and the SCC not
converged.

Do you know how to perform bulk and slab calculations in CP2K using
SCC-DFTB methodology? Do you have any information to help me ?

Thank you very much!
Egon C Santos
