<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<br>I am trying to set up calculation for my Cu+ system, however, even after reading this thread I cannot understand how the electrons are assigned to channels in CP2K. I wanna test two possible spin states (just for testing purposes) of Cu+:<br><br>Cu+ with electron configuration 3d9 4s1 (Cu1) and 3d10 4s0 (Cu2).
