[CP2K-user] Calculating normal modes for a saddle point structure from NEB

[Jaap Louwen]

Hi Mohammad,

I have no experience with mode selective calculations, but if you just want 
to compute a partial Hessian over atoms directly involved in the TS, fixing 
all other atoms will work for you.
Your vibrational analysis namelist will just read something like:

&VIBRATIONAL_ANALYSIS
  NPROC_REP 28
  FULLY_PERIODIC
&END VIBRATIONAL_ANALYSIS

while within the &Motion namelist you include a constraint section like:
   &CONSTRAINT
      &FIXED_ATOMS
        COMPONENTS_TO_FIX XYZ
        LIST  1..12
        LIST  14..24
        LIST  26..65
        LIST  67..144
      &END FIXED_ATOMS
   &END CONSTRAINT

CP2K will simply skip the fixed atoms.

Regards, Jaap
