[CP2K-user] [CP2K:13615] Re: Problems performing calculations using k-points

[Travis]

Hi,

You can just paste the coordinates in a &COORD section to get around using 
the xyz file, but I have no issues reading XYZ files dumped by ASE. That 
said, the cell size you give in &CELL is 12.6 Angstroms and not 4.2 
Angstroms which is the size of the cell in the XYZ file.
