[CP2K-user] [CP2K:17690] SGCPMD: equilibration problem?

[Alexandra Dávila]

Dear Cp2k users,
I have carried on a second-generation Car-Parrinello (SGCP) MD simulation 
for Pt(111)/water interface. Unit cell contains Pt: 6x6x4 (2 frozen), 
water: 134 molecules.

I have performed similar workflow as Onofrio ("SGCPMD: number of steps per 
SCF run increase suddenly after initial 400 MD steps"). But I have used the 
NOISY_GAMMA as in the publication *"First-Principles Simulations of an 
Aqueous CO/Pt(111) Interface" doi:10.1021/acs.jpcc.8b05933, *Pt: 5E-05 1/fs 
and for water 2.2E-04 1/fs. Temperature is set to 330K. 

Unfortunately in my case along the SGMD the temperature of Pt region drops 
to roughly 180 K, the temperature of the hole system is about 328K. I 
expected that the temperature of Pt region would be closer to the water 
after a equilibration time of 4ps. Does this mean that probably my system 
is well-equilibrated? Is this going to affect the dynamics of the system? 
(PS: the density profile seems ok, double peak on oxygen, well-known for 
Pt(111))

Many thanks in advance!
Alexandra

PS: I also observed the increase of the SCF steps after a restart!
