[CP2K-user] [CP2K:11308] Re: energy fluctuation in GEO-OPT

[Marcella Iannuzzi]

Before getting involved in AIMD simulations, probably you need to go back 
to books to learn about condensed matter electronic structure theory. 
Can your reproduce the electronic properties of this MOF with your DFT 
settings?
Anyway, to simulate an isolated fragment you need a CELL that is about 
twice as large as the system and you have to choose a proper Poisson 
solver.

Marcella
