[CP2K-user] [CP2K:17021] Geometry Optimization too slow and SCF not converging

Dear Cp2k experts,

I am doing a simple geometry optimization of NO molecule. The geometry 
optimization appears to be too-slow and the SCF is also not converging in 
300 steps at many places. 

Something looks odd as this shouldn't be the case for a simple gas-phase 
geometry optimization of just one molecule. I am not sure if something is 
wrong with my input file or is it because NO is an open-shell molecule? I 
have attached my input, topology ad output file. 

Looking forward to some help and responses.

Best Regards,
Raghav
