[CP2K:8462] Need advice for setting CP2K input for all electron CAM-B3LYP calculations

[Samir ABDELOUAHED]

Dear Juerg,
I am facing a serious problem getting the right HOMO-LUMO gap for an 
isolated C60. I've a pending draft on C60 adsorption and I don't have any 
more the ADF license. So I thought cp2k might be the  best alternative. So 
I started calculating the C60 gap. The problem is that I am still far from 
the C60 experimental gap of around 5 eV.
the PBE, B3LYP , and PBE0 (using either GTH or MOLOPT DZVP basis set) 
calculations gave 1.62 eV, 2.64, and 2.90 eV, respectively.
As the ADF B3LYP All electron-STO basis set calculations gave around 4.7 eV 
I thought that a cp2k B3LYP all electron-GTO basis set would give a similar 
value...But apparently it is not the case. Indeed, I've got similar values 
to the pseudopotential calculations: 1.65, 2.69, and 2.95 eV.
So I am wondering whether this is due to the fact that the ADF calculations 
were done using STO, which are more efficient than GTO. If it is the case 
which other GTO basis should I take to get the right gap. Or is there some 
problems in my settings (inputs).
Please find attached the inputs for these calculations (6 inputs).
I would like to tell you that the calculations are converged without any 
problem even the hybrid ones as I started these calculations from a PBE 
pre-converged calculation.  
Many many thanks for your help,
Samir
