Can CP2K fixed part of atoms when perform CI-NEB?

[J. Ye]

 Hi Fabio, 

I indeed included both "ALIGN_FRAMES FALSE" and "ROTATE_FRAMES FALSE" in my 
input(Please see the attachment). But I still found the atoms moves. The 
methods we use are different. I don't know how does this affect the fixed 
atoms. Do you have any idea? 

I have tested your input. Atom 1 and 3 indeed do not move. I also tried to 
switch TI-NEB to CI-NEB, the atoms are not move. So this should not be 
affected by BAND_TYPE. 

Can any expert of CP2K give us some hints on this problem? 

Thanks very much!
Best,

J. Ye
