Hi all!
I have a problem with charged systems. I read that there should be 
automatically a charge background correction in cp2k. I wanted to put -1 
charge on my periodic solid system and it gives me unrealistic HOMO-LUMO 
gap as well as excitation energies.
My uncharged system has a band gap of ca. 4eV
with the extra charge it is -4ev and also the excitation energies are:
TDDFPT|      1      -4.90388   6.6514E-02  1.1237E-01  6.9805E-02 
 -2.63401E-03
 TDDFPT|      2      -4.41576   1.5198E-02  7.6006E-02  4.8727E-02 
 -9.06818E-04
 TDDFPT|      3      -3.06657   3.1150E-01  2.4287E-01  1.6674E-01 
 -1.38103E-02
 TDDFPT|      4      -0.86657   1.0274E+00  5.7287E-01  6.6111E-01 
 -3.86559E-02
 TDDFPT|      5      -0.73913   2.1315E+00  1.9346E+00  3.7857E-01 
 -1.52639E-01
 TDDFPT|      6      -0.70470   4.0579E+00  1.7798E+00  8.2125E-01 
 -3.50632E-01
 TDDFPT|      7      -0.67319   7.4310E+00  3.8930E+00  3.2962E-01 
 -1.16248E+00
 TDDFPT|      8      -0.63574   1.4686E+00  1.1029E+00  2.5738E-01 
 -5.35724E-02
 TDDFPT|      9      -0.62635   7.3774E+00  3.9100E+00  6.9441E-01 
 -1.07719E+00
 TDDFPT|     10      -0.60103   6.9763E+00  2.9443E+00  7.6770E-01 
 -8.52972E-01

Can someone tell me why this is happening or is there some problem in my 
input file (see down).
Thank you!!!!
