<div dir="ltr">Dear cp2k users, <br><br>I am using DFT+U method for modelling
CuInSe2 (U=5.0 eV for 3d electrons of Cu), particularly,
using Mulliken method as implemented in cp2k program. <br>However, a warning
is repeatedly written in the output file. <br><br> *** WARNING in dft_plus_u.F:1455 :: DFT+U energy contibution is negative ***<br> *** possibly due to unphysical Mulliken charges. Check your input, if ***<br> *** this warning persists or try a different method! ***<br><br>After
reading the cp2k google group discussion, I have tried to perform DFT+U
calculations as explained below, <br>but each time I got the same warning
in the output file. <br><br>1) Restarting the calculation U=5 eV, from an optimized wavefunction obtained from U=0 eV. <br>2) Point 1 + u_ramping option <br>3) Point 2 + &enforce_occupation <br><br>Can someone please help me in this. <br><br>Thanking You, <br>Sudhir<br><br><br></div>
