MD simulation of glass

Hi All,

I am trying to carry out MD simulation of glass (Na2SiS3) using CP2K. I am 
not sure as to what values of Cut - off and Relative Cut - Off should be 
suitable for these runs. For Na since it the pseudo potential is semi - 
core, I need to use a higher cut off (~ 900Ry). But would using such a high 
cut - off have effect on calculations related to Si and S which require a 
considerably low cut - off values. Will this high cut - off lead to excited 
states calculations of Si and S? I am getting the partial charges on Si to 
be negative when I run these calculations. The partial charges I expect on 
Si are of the order of +2.4 and on S are -1.2 but I am currently getting 
them to be way off from those numbers. Attached hereby is the input file 
along with the input coordinate file. 


Here is the portion of the Mulliken Charge Analysis from output:
