[CP2K-user] [CP2K:12255] Negative Pressure in NVT ensemble

[Thomas Kühne]

Dear Ramanish Singh, 

minimal mispredictions within lattice constant and vectors 
may entail large changes in the pressure. So observing a 
rather large negative pressure is not necessarily indicative 
of a problem. Beside that the usage of good basis sets and 
tight SCF convergence is essential, it is hard to say anything 
specific without detailed knowledge on what you plan to do. 

Best, 
Thomas Kühne
