Hi

you will need to define an AUX_BASIS also for the ghost element.
Your on your own to find a reasonable basis that is compatible
with your ghost basis. 

Just a wild guess. If you are using a grid of basis functions, your
basis will be very small (single Gaussian, maybe s and p types).
In that case use the same basis for the AUX_BASIS.

Other idea: try to use no ADMM basis on the grid.
            Method 1) try AUX_BASIS NONE
            Method 2) Use ADMM METHOD BLOCKED_PROJECTION

I have never tried any of these, you need to experiment.

Ok, thank you. I see that the required ELEMENT keyword changes only the atomic label, in this case.
If I want to use ADMM, will I have to use the same basis set also for the AUX_BASIS part? Or is there a way to generate a consistent auxiliary basis?

Regards, 

Paolo

Hi 
 
You can specify an element type using the keyword ELEMENT XX 
in the KIND section.

Thank you for your answer. 
 
I wrote a file MY-BASIS with the new basis for the element AGHOST with a basis set called my-basis-set. The beginning of such file reads 
  AGHOST my-basis-set 
 
Then I added 
 
BASIS_SET_FILE_NAME MY-BASIS 
 
to the &DFT section of the input file,  
 
&KIND AGHOST 
BASIS_SET my-basis-set 
GHOST 
&END KIND 
 
to the &SUBSYS section, and I put the coordinates of the AGHOST atoms I need to the XYZ file I use to define the topology of the system. I get the error  
 
Element <AGHOST> provided for KIND <AGHOST> which cannot be mapped 
 with any standard element label. Please correct your input file!  
 
Is there something wrong I am doing? 
 
Regards, 
Paolo

Hi  
  
You should be able to do such a calculation by defining a new   
atom type, e.g. AGHOST  
  
    &KIND AGHOST  
      BASIS_SET "my-basis-set"  
      GHOST  
    &END KIND  
  
Then add atoms of this type on a regular grid to the coordinate definition.  
  
For a test I would start with a small number of ghost atoms and check  
the number of basis functions and the outcome of a geometry optimization  
for a simple molecule.

Dear cp2k community,  
  
In the literature (e.g., here and here) people refer to the possibility of adding to the set of atomic centered gaussians a grid of gaussians functions fixed in space, that helps describing the wavefunction of a system with, e.g., loosely bound electrons. They use cp2k, but I have not been able to find any information about it in the manual.  
  
How can one do this?  
  
Thank you,   
Paolo
