[CP2K-user] [CP2K:14907] Re: A question about the occupation number for each Wannier function within the GAPW method

[Fangyong Yan]

Dear Marcella,

Thank you very much for your clarification!!

I am using GAPW to calculate infrared spectra. For IR spectrum, some
systems need a very large planewave cutoff, for such systems, GAPW is a
better choice because you dont know how large your cutoff will be,
because the energy may converge for smaller planewave cutoff, but the
vibrational modes may be still not accurate. For such systems, GAPW is a
better choice than GPW.

So thanks a lot!!

Best regards,

Fangyong
