[CP2K-user] bulk cell opt questions

[Jing Liu]

Dear Fabian

Thank you for your suggestions, I'm running new tests based on them and 
hopefully the charge inaccuracy can be solved...

As for the basis set, I agree that they should not be directly compared 
since different basis set of course yield different total energy, however I 
expect somewhat "smaller" difference, not few hundred hartree... With this 
much of difference I can only assume one of the calclation is completely 
nonsense...

Best regards

Liu Jing
