Hi Gabriele,

Thanks for your suggestions. I too have thought about the vacuum space and
I have already submitted some jobs with higher vacuum (Till now, I have
used 15 Ang vacuum. Now, I have submitted with 20 Ang vacuum space along
with TZV2P basis) and I will try to update them when they complete. Can you
please suggest which Poisson solvers are best for the XY periodicity and
may I know whether there is any possibility to include such
dipole-correction schemes with CP2K?

Regarding 2x1 cell, yes, I have indeed started with this cell but I
couldn't optimize this cell using CP2K (even with 10x10x1 k-mesh) and 1000
Ry cutoff. It always goes to very high energies right from the first
geometry cycle (I have started from an already optimized geometry. Also,
the same geometry, when extended to form 4x4 or 6x3 runs fine with CP2K.
So, I believe the problem of convergence could be because of the k-point
related issues for the non-cubic cells in CP2K). So, I switched to a 4x4
cell, directly (which I could optimize).

Regarding coverages, yes, I have performed many coverage dependent studies
on a 6x3 cell (with DZVP basis) and I found the energy per adsorbate to be
almost the same for all of them (-0.83 eV for 9 COs to -0.86 eV for 1 CO).
A 6x3 cell with 9 COs will be equivalent to a 2x1 cell with 1 CO (we
confirmed this by calculating the energy per adsorbate values for 2x1
(-0.265 eV) and 6x3 (-0.267 eV) cells using VASP. With VASP, I could
converge both 2x1 cell and 6x3 cells).

Thanks,
Sharma.
