Metadynamics variables,

[Lucas Lodeiro]

Hi all!

I want to run a MTD for a water system, and i want to select the values of 
some variables as i want: Gaussian height  0.0005 Ha (0.3 kcal/mol 
approximately), width 0.1 bohr and deposition time step of 40 fs.
The colvar definition between the atoms uses a Rc=1.5 Angstrom. The 
timestep MTD is 0.5 fs.
I prepared an input file:

                        DO_HILLS

                        &METAVAR
                                COLVAR  1
                                SCALE   0.1
                        &END METAVAR
                        &PRINT
                                &COLVAR

                                        &END
                                &END
                                &HILLS

                                        &EACH
                                                MD 1
                                        &END
                                &END
                        &END
                &END METADYN
&END FREE_ENERGY

        &COLVAR
                &COORDINATION
                        ATOMS_FROM      1

        &END COLVAR
&END SUBSYS


The WW is the heicht of the gaussian in kcal/mol, and NT_HILL 80 is the 
number of steps to enter Gaussians, 80*0.5 fs = 40 fs, all ok. But my doubt 
is, SCALE is the width of the gaussian, in the manual the default unity 
say, [internal_cp2k], and i dont understand if i put 0.1 in that variable 
like as in the input, i use a 0.1 bohr width... 

How can i use safely 0.1 bohr in the width of gaussian?
