[CP2K-user] LiC6 Geo Opt (Metallic System)

[kamalpreet... at gmail.com]

Hi Travis, yeah that's my bad. The input file I attached was the structure 
after 48 hours of geo_opt. I have attached the original 5X5X5 structure in 
this post (input.xyz). I had to slightly modify the CIF file from materials 
project because the file they provided led to boundary overlap errors in my 
computation. So I changed the boundary configurations to resolve this. What 
you mentioned is exactly the issue I am having, I am not sure what I am 
doing wrong to get the distortions in the structure. I have also attached 
the final output so far (input-pos-1.xyz).
