Hi

in the trunk version of CP2K MIC has been disabled for DFTB.

regards

I think it would be good to make that change in the code,
as you describe it.

I tried Broyden mixing, but the SCF cycle ends up oscillating 
without converging (both for the molecule and for the bulk), 
at least with the standard Broyden parameters and ALPHA 
values down to 0.01 (see attached zip folder). Adding smearing 
didn't help.

Best,
Maxime
