<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Prof. Hutter,</div><div><br></div><div>I have performed the BSSE corrections and the results are given below. Clearly, the BSSE corrected interaction energy is huge (~ 1 eV). If I consider this CP-corrected energy as the adsorption energy (I have calculated adsorption energy as Eads = EAB - EA -EB), then it will be too off from the VASP (-0.466 eV) or FHIAIMs (-0.595 eV) results. As mentioned, without BSSE the calculated adsorption energy is -0.863 eV. All the energies given are with Grimme's-D3 dispersion. Kindly, let me know if you have any comments about this.</div><div><br></div><div>To check the accuracy of my basis set, I have started a run with TZVP basis (instead of DZVP) for adsorption energy calculation and I will update here.<br></div><div><br></div><div><div>On a different note, the number of basis functions used for the calculation in FHIAIMS (6172) and CP2K (5660) is roughly the same.</div><br></div><div> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> - -<br> - BSSE RESULTS -<br> - -<br> - CP-corrected Total energy: 0.039208 -<br> - -<br> - 1-body contribution: -9804.468056 -<br> - 1-body contribution: -21.667247 -<br> - -<br> - 2-body contribution: 9826.174511 -<br> - BSSE-free interaction energy: 9826.174511 -<br> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br></div><div>Sharma.<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000">--------------------------------------------------------------------<br><font size="2" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">SRK <b>Chaitanya</b> Sharma, Yamijala.</font></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000"><font size="2" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="http://www.bmwong-group.com/group-members/" target="_blank">http://www.bmwong-group.com/group-members/</a></font></font></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 13, 2018 at 12:31 AM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hut...@chem.uzh.ch" target="_blank">hut...@chem.uzh.ch</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi<br> <br> you are using a DZVP basis, this is rather small.
