[CP2K-user] [CP2K:9301] XC_HYB_MGGA_XC_WB97M_V functional in libxc

[Stanislav Šimko]

Hello,

hopefully, someone will be able to help me further. As suggested, I'm 
trying to reproduce Benzene-Ar interaction potential, as well as some water 
dimers and some other things. When running with Ahlrichs-def2-QZVP basis, 
results seem OK-ish but not convincing enough in my opinion. Therefore, I'm 
now trying to get working (aug-)pc-3 basis set with the Benzene-Ar. My 
setup does not work though. System energy is exploding during SCF. I get 2 
warnings/errors:
1) POWELL| Error in trust region
2)  *** WARNING in pw/ps_wavelet_methods.F:236 :: Density non-zero on the 
***
 *** edges of the unit cell: wrong results in WAVELET solver           ***

I have no clue about the first one. Is it something related to math 
libraries (MKL)?

The second one can be somewhat avoided when I increase cell size. However, 
this does not work all the time and I'm using 30A box already. Attached is 
my input.
Do you please have got any suggestions?
Thank you!
