[CP2K-user] [CP2K:11203] Re: Grimme Dispersion with SCC DFTB

[hut... at chem.uzh.ch]

Hi

the keyword

D3_SCALING  s6 sr6 s8

in the parameter section is required. There are no defaults for these
parameters, or better defaults are all 0.
See also the manual.

regards

Juerg

hello，

Do you have any idea on how to set the D3_SCALING parameters?  I use CP2K to optimize the crystal structure, but I didn't find the reference on how to set the Grimme D3 correction.

Hello,

I have a question regarding dispersion corrections for the SCC DFTB method implemented in CP2K.

I tell the program to use Dispersion correction, but the line in the output shows only zeroes like:

  Core Hamiltonian energy:                                     -4.17194433927250
  Repulsive potential energy:                                   0.07921577780740
  Electronic energy:                                            0.02107155371499
  Dispersion energy:                                            0.00000000000000

  Total energy:                                                -4.07165700775011

 ENERGY| Total FORCE_EVAL ( QS ) energy (a.u.):               -4.071657007750285

Is something wrong with my input or is parameter set not supported?
