[CP2K-user] [CP2K:22081] DFTD3 scaling - possible bug

[Bram Van der Linden]

Dear Jurg,

Thanks for the clarification. I think the manual may be confusing here: " if 
set to zero CP2K attempts to guess the xc functional from 
REFERENCE_FUNCTIONAL". So, I interpreted this as that you can set the 
coefficients safely to 0. It may be better to replace "if set to zero" by 
"if the parameter is omitted".

With kind regards,

Bram
