[CP2K-user] [CP2K:19623] Invoking B97-3C in CP2K

In the paper by Perlt, Ray, Hansen, Malberg, Grimme & Kirchner, J. Chem. Phys. 148, 193835 (2018), 
the implementation of B97-3c was compared to ORCA, since one the corrections is recommended to 
be used in conjunction with the mTZVP that differs from the ones employed in CP2K. 
The summary of the comparison, which you will find in the SI of the aforementioned paper, reads as: 
"While the mean signed deviation is similar for both basis sets (ORCA: 0.06 kcal mol−1, 

CP2K: −0.06 kcal mol−1), the mean absolute deviation is significantly larger if the 

TZVP-GTH basis set in CP2K is used (ORCA: 0.28 kcal mol−1, CP2K: 0.44 kcal mol−1)."

>> May I ask that if your group members specially optimize the GTH pseudopotentials for the B97-D functional (for the usage of B97-3c), or directly use the existing GTH pseudopotentials optimized for other functionals (e.g., BLYP, BP, or PBE)? Thanks in advance !
