[CP2K-user] Unphysical behavior of water with SCAN XC + D3

[Giuseppe Cassone]

Dear all,

I'm simulating the behavior of bulk liquid water with the SCAN XC 
functional in absence and in presence of different 
dispersion corrections. I'm using cp2k 6.1 with libxc 4.0.0. I've noticed 
that the behavior of water is completely
not physical when I employ Grimme's D3 dispersion corrections with BJ 
damping by exploiting BLYP as a reference
functional. Which reference functional can be used to treat D3 dispersion 
interactions in conjunction with the SCAN XC 
functional? Please find in the following the input file. 

Many thanks in advance, 
Giuseppe
