[CP2K-user] [CP2K:13176] bulk cell opt questions

[Thomas Kühne]

Dear Jing, 

honestly I don’t fully understand what you are testing and what is the rational behind it. 
However, first of all you can’t compare the absolute energies (there are not even 
expected to be close), since you are comparing a pseudopotential calculation with an 
all electron reference. Also, I suspect that your reference is a gas phase calculation, 
which can neither compared to your periodic test no. 1 (because of pbc) and also 
not to test no. 2, which is not a proper isolated supercell due to too small cell dimensions 
along the x-direction.

Best, 
Thomas
