[CP2K-user] How to testify the production species are radicals or not, during the MD simulation.

[Vladimir Rybkin]

Dear Du,

in principle, population analysis will help, although Mulliken should be 
used with care. There are other options in CP2K as well, e.g. Hirshfeld, 
RESP. It may also be useful to print the spin density cube and analyse spin 
density distribution visually. 

It's not clear to me what the dissociation products are and which atoms in 
the output belong to them, but as far as I see, spin moments on all atoms 
are very small, i.e. there's no considerable spin polarisation. So, I would 
say you don't have radicals.

Yours, 

Vladimir
