Simple Monte Carlo in CP2K

[Evgenii]

Yifei,

In your case, MC still considers atoms as "molecules", so all parameters 
you would have for 2 molecule types you still have for 2 atom types.

This does not only apply to the AVBMC variables (in your case you indeed 
need to provide to values to each AVBMC variable) but also to any other 
variables requiring a value per molecule type.

Best,
Evgenii
