[CP2K-user] How to obtain a denser grid mesh for electron density cube file?

[Marcella Iannuzzi]

Dear Kai, 

The density of the grid mesh is determined by the PW cutoff. 
You can rerun the E_DENSITY_CUBE calculation by restarting from the old 
wavefunction restart file, but setting a larger PW cutoff. 
The calculation should almost immediately converge and print out a cube 
file with a denser mesh.

Best,
Marcella
