[CP2K-user] [CP2K:13301] COF cell optimize exploded

Hi, Sun

I would like to share some of my experience with you.

 

(1) CUTOFF

As you can see from the cutoff test, you must increase cutoff at least up 
to 1000 Ry. I had test cutoff ranged from 600 to 2500, the highest the 
best. At 1200 Ry, the cell optimization result is very close to the 
experimental data.

(2) CELL_REF

I had tested the CELL_REF vectors A, B, and C from 1 to 3 times of origin 
CELL corresponding vectors with 0.2 interval. I think 1.2 time of the CELL 
vectors ABC is enough which has a good balancing the computational time and 
accuracy.
