[CP2K-user] [CP2K:19032] Terrible lattice constant of FCC copper from cell optimization

Hi

removing the basis doesn't change the calculation (in this case).
The SIRIUS output is in Bohr (6.82) the input was in Angstrom (3.61).

Have you investigated if these parameters are adequate for your system/pseudopotential?

       GK_CUTOFF 5
       PW_CUTOFF 20
       NGRIDK 10 10 10

Hi  Jürg,

I have removed basis set and found that the problem remains. A difficult thing hard to understand : Why a different value (6.8219113397) was taken in the very beginning of the calculations? There must be somthing hard to understand.

The lattice prior to the optimization:
lattice vectors
  a1 :       6.8219113397       0.0000000000       0.0000000000
  a2 :       0.0000000000       6.8219113397       0.0000000000
  a3 :       0.0000000000       0.0000000000       6.8219113397

Hi

you are doing a plane wave calculation, so you don't have to specify a Gaussian basis set.
However, the crucial parameter is now the PW cutoff. Make sure you have a reasonable value,
either by testing or by comparing to literature.

Subject: [CP2K:19024] Terrible lattice constant of FCC copper from cell optimization

Hi all,

I got a terrible lattice constant (2.71) that is in significant disagreement with the experimental value (3.61). Something wrong with my input file ?
