Dear CP2K users,
I was trying to check the effect of D3 interactions on the energy, forces,
and stress. So, I ran two CP2K(version 8.2) jobs (RUN_TYPE ENERGY_FORCE)
with and without D3 correction and printed stress and forces using,
&PRINT
&FORCES ON
FILENAME =forces
&END FORCES
&STRESS_TENSOR ON
FILENAME =stress
&END STRESS_TENSOR
&END PRINT
STRESS_TENSOR ANALYTICAL
and printed D3 output using,
&vDW_POTENTIAL
POTENTIAL_TYPE PAIR_POTENTIAL
&PAIR_POTENTIAL
TYPE DFTD3
PARAMETER_FILE_NAME dftd3.dat
REFERENCE_FUNCTIONAL PBE
VERBOSE_OUTPUT .TRUE.
&PRINT_DFTD
FILENAME =VDWForces
&END PRINT_DFTD
&END PAIR_POTENTIAL
&END vDW_POTENTIAL
I obtained following energy values,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
with D3:
Dispersion energy:
-0.43391295044042
Total energy:
-1822.59757123461372
without D3:
Total energy:
-1822.16365828416315
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
It shows that E_DFT+D3 = E_DFT + E_D3. Since forces are negative gradients
of energy, so my expectation was F_DFT+D3 = F_DFT + F_D3.
I checked the files with forces and found following values:

>From the printed forces, I found that (assuming printed dispersion forces
are in a.u.) that F_DFT+D3 = F_DFT - F_D3 (e.g. F1x: 0.00005291 =
-0.00059335 - (-0.00064625376145) ), which should not be the case and it
should be F_DFT+D3 = F_DFT + F_D3.
Similarly, I checked the stress and got following values,

Assuming the dispersion stress in a.u., I got the following relation
Stress_DFT+D3 (GPa) = Stress_DFT (GPa) + Stress_D3 (a.u.)*4359.74393 /
volume (Angstrom^3), which seems fine.
So from output from CP2K, I got following relations:
E_DFT+D3 (a.u.) = E_DFT (a.u.) + E_D3 (a.u.)
F_DFT+D3 (a.u.) = F_DFT (a.u.) - F_D3 (a.u.)
Stress_DFT+D3 (GPa) = Stress_DFT (GPa) + Stress_D3 (a.u.)*4359.74393 /
volume (Ang^3)
Could you please help me to understand why there is subtraction of the
forces to obtain total (DFT+D3) forces?
Many thanks ,
Abhishek
