Hi

A single water molecule has only a few degrees of freedoms which results in large temperature fluctuations when potential energy is transferred to kinetic energy. Try a larger water sample, e.g. 32 molecules, since these fluctuations should average out more and more for larger systems.

Betreff: [CP2K:14555] AIMD simulation of a single water molecule

Hi,
    I am trying to use CP2K to run NVT simulation for a single water molecule. But I find that the temperature fluctuates seriously. I can not get equilibrium temperature. I set the temprature as 300 K in the input file. But the temperatures in energy file are:

    The last column is temperature. Could anyone help me? I would be very appreciated!
    With my best regards,
