[CP2K-user] how to specify xc functional name in cp2k

[Frederick Stein]

Hi Geng,

Both are correct. CP2K passes the functional name directly to the Libxc 
library. They possibly remove "XC_". Due to the change log, I assume that 
the prefix has been actively used in former versions and is still kept for 
reasons of backwards compatibility.

Best regards.

Frederick
