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

[Mostafa Abedi]

Dear Thomas,

Many thanks for your help. I've changed the input file according to your 
suggestion. However, the temperature fluctuation is getting larger. I 
attached the corresponding files. I really appropriate if you could have 
another look into this. Thanks.

Best,

Mostafa
