[CP2K-user] [CP2K:18009] Re: Convergence failure and incorrect solvation energy with SCCS in cp2k-2022.1

[Krack Matthias (PSI)]

Hi Wiko

After running checks using SCCS with POISSON_SOLVER MT and “PERIODIC none” for charged and uncharged molecules (solutes), I have correct my previous comment. CP2K/SCCS with MT seems to work fine which makes it the suggested setup especially for charged systems with SCCS. Note, that you need relatively high cutoff values (>800 Ry) and large cells for numerically accurate forces.

Sorry for confusing

Matthias

Hi Wiko


1.       That’s indeed a problem.

2.       That’s correct, SCCS is meant to work with POISSON_SOLVER periodic and PERIODIC xyz.

Dear Matthias:

Thanks a lot for your reply. The electrostatic energy is posted below.
1. I did use k points and smearing in the calculation of slab. It should be the problem.
2. Did you mean if I want to obtain the solvation energy of H3O+, I can use “PSOLVER MT” and “PERIODIC NONE” to calculate cluster energy in gas phase, and then use the default setting when applying SCCS?

Regards

Wiko

PS: Do not use with SCCS “PSOLVER MT” and “PERIODIC NONE” but the defaults.

Hi Wiko


1.       Slab: SCCS in CP2K is not implemented for k points and not yet tested with smearing. I guess that you are using one of these features for the Ag(111) slab which might cause problems.

2.       H3O+: The results are sensible to the choice of the parameters RHO_MIN and RHO_MAX. Their values differ especially for neutral and ionic systems. What do you get for the electrostatic part of the solvation energy?

Just as minor improvements (do not help for the issue above), I suggest to use for H3O+ the default diagonalization instead of OT (i.e. &OT off) and a smaller EPS_DEFAULT value (at least 1.0E-12 instead of 1.0E-10).

Hello, everyone:

I was trying to apply solvation effect to the Ag(111)-H3O+ system, while I met several problems.

1. The first problem is the convergence of Ag(111) surface. I built a 4*4*3 Ag(111) slab. The system could hardly converge when implicit solvation model was used. While in gas phase, it converged successfully.  Are there some tricks to make it converge?

2. Another problem is more confusing. The solvation energy of H3O+ differs a lot from the experimental value as well as the values calculated by other solvation models such as VASPsol. I've tried to change the parameters in SCCS sections according to the article  [Self-consistent continuum solvation (SCCS): The case of charged systems. J. Chem. Phys. 139, 214110 (2013) ], and try to change the Poisson solver, but I still couldn't obtain a reasonable result. Why is there such a huge difference? Did I misuse SCCS section?

I'm new to CP2K, and I didn't know whether I set somethings wrong in the input file or I missed some subtle but important details. I'll appreciate it if someone can give me some advice on these problems, since solvation is vital in predicting the energy of H3O+ and the interaction of metal surface and adsorbates.

The input file is attached below.

Thanks a lot!

Wiko
