How to check for spin contamination in CP2K

[Vladimir Rybkin]

Dear Natalie,

there is spin control in CP2K when spin-unrestricted calculations are 
performed with integer occupation numbers for the orbitals, i.e. with 
default settings.
It looks like this:

Integrated absolute spin density  :                               
1.0205992811
Ideal and single determinant S**2 :                    0.750000       
0.750495


 You are probably using smearing. In any case, your input and output would 
help to figure out what happens.

Your,

Vladimir
