[CP2K-user] Correct E adsorption calculation on semiconductive surface

Hi guys, could you please give me advice to improve my current settings for 
E ads calculation of organic molecule on semiconductive surface. I am 
afraid that my calculation can be wrong because Eads on graphite (basal 
plane) of -0.6 eV < Eads on silicon (001) of -0.8 eV, where graphite has 
higher electric conductivity with smaller band gap. According to my 
thinking, higher surface polarisability gives better better Eadsorption due 
to strong VdW interactions (dipole-dipole formation). However, graphite 
basal plane is smother than Si(001) which is like saw-type surface.
