[CP2K-user] [CP2K:13013] Pseudopotential Energy

[hut... at chem.uzh.ch]

Hi

CP2K energies include all terms depending on the valence density,
no constant atomic energy is added/subtracted.

See the base publications for a detailed definition.

This means that total energies depend strongly on the pseudo potentials used.

Subject: [CP2K:13013] Pseudopotential Energy

Does CP2K subtract away the pseudopotential energy when calculating total energy in an SCF cycle? 

So the actual total energy would then be the reported total energy minus the sum of the pseudopotential energies? 

I think I read somewhere on this forum that it does not, but cannot seem to find it.

Thanks for the help,
Nick Winner
