[CP2K:8779] Oxygen vacancies with different number of electrons

[S Ling]

Hi

You can use the CHARGE keyword (
https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/DFT.html#CHARGE ) to
change the total number of electrons in your system. Whether the electrons
will localise in the vacancy or delocalise over the whole cell is a
different thing, which may depend on the functional you use.
