[CP2K-user] [CP2K:16670] AIMD Simulation of water

Dear Niharendu Choudhury, 

the bare SCAN functional (without Grimme’s dispersion correction) is able to reasonable well describe intermediate-ranged vdW interactions. 
A manifestation of that is the particle density is already rather well reproduced contrary to most other semi-local XC functional. Since IMHO, 
the impact of Grimme’s dispersion correction is mainly on water’s density, it’s relevance when using the SCAN functional and obviously also 
for NVT simulations is much reduced. The good agreement with joint x-ray/neutron diffraction experiments, however, is mainly due to the use 
of elevated temperature, which is rather well known to mimic nuclear quantum effects. 

Greetings, 
Thomas Kühne
