geometry optimization of Na slab

[Hongliu]

Dear Matt,

it really helps! Now the structure changes indeed. What could be the reason 
for that?

But it changes too much :(.  For a 3-layer (111) slab I fixed the first 
layer and the upper layer becomes a mass after a while. BTW, for the cell 
optimization of Na bcc crystal structure I got always a disordered state. 
This was also reported by Aniruddha Dive at this post: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cp2k/aHejgB31V7s. 

My input files for the cell optimization are attached. Any suggestions for 
that? Thanks!

Best wishes,
Hongliu
