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

[Ramanish Singh]

Thanks Thomas Kühne. 
I am simulating liquid Iodine close to the Vapor Liquid coexistence curve 
using BLYP functional. I used experimental density to find the V for my NVT 
simulations. But now I suspect there can be a two phase system in my box 
and that's why the pressure is becoming negative. 
So instead of the experimental density I am using slightly higher 
density(~10 percent higher) to make sure it is in the liquid phase at that 
Temperature. What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Ramanish Singh
