[CP2K-user] [CP2K:13078] large temperature fluctuation in NVT AIMD

[Thomas Kühne]

Dear Mostafa, 

you are relying on the default values for the thermostat. For such a small system (the fluctuations scale with the sqrt 
of the number of particles), a strong coupling is necessary. Try for instance REGION MASSIVE, TYPE CSVR and 
TIMECON 50. More importantly, however, the dimension of your cell is too large resulting in a way too low density. 

Cheers, 
Thomas

I know a little bit temperature fluctuation is acceptable, but mine is really large. This is the first time I am trying CP2K for doing AIMD and not familiar with structure of the input file. Maybe something is wrong or missing in the input file (see attached "water.inp" file). I should say I've already done this calculation with ORCA for non-periodic water system. Now, I want to see the effect of periodicity with cp2k. Any help would greatly appropriated. Many thanks.
