Thank you for your quick answer, that ist definitely helpful!

I would have a follow up question to your answer:
How many periodic copies of the unit cell does CP2K take into account resp.
how does it determine this number? Or does CP2K compute the overlap matrix
in the continuum limit?

Why do I ask these detailed questions: If CP2K does not use the continuum
limit (number of unit cells to infinity), then the sum over cell copies in
the previously provided manuskript is normalized
by a product of these numbers (xyz dir). For the overlap matrix this
scaling factor is important!

Thank you again in advance for your help,
Maximilian Dorfner
