[CP2K:9616] PM6 Mulliken charges

[Stanislav Šimko]

Hi,

yes, thank you for your reply. Appropriately modifying the Coulomb cutoff 
is what we found out as well. And it makes sense, because electrostatic 
interactions are computed with classical Coulomb formula with cutoff. Since 
we had default large cutoff, (much larger than c/2, c is box size), 
particles would see several images of others, introducing artifacts into 
the calculation.

Thank you.
best,
stanislav.
