[CP2K-user] computation does not yet treat fractional occupied orbitals

Dear Marcella,

 

Thanks for your reply. I am studying the adsorption of nitrogen molecule on 
Ru surface.

 So, under these circumstances should I add SMEAR or not? And if I should, 
how can I setting FIXED_MAGNETIC_MOMENT in the case of Involving two 
different kinds of atoms?

 

Best Regards,

Wang
