Considering charge on vacancies in cp2k

[Matt W]

Hi,

generally in DFT codes you cannot specify particular distributions of 
electrons, merely find the lowest energy total electron density.

What you can do is provide an initial geometry that would favour the 
'excess' charge being where you want it to go.
