Dear All<div><br></div><div>I require the average potential energy per water molecule for thermochemical calculations. However, I find that the average PE differs significantly (by ~1-8 kJ/mol) for different system sizes. Based on classical simulations, this is quite unexpected. There is the possibility that the simulations have not equilibrated yet, but the PEs seem to have reasonably plateaued (see attached figure). The length of the trajectories are also already similar to those reported in (older) papers. </div><div><br></div><div>The DFT settings used for each system are the same, and are summarized by the input lines appended to the end of this email. In all cases the temperature set to 330 K. For reference, I've also attached restart files for each system. </div><div><br></div><div>Any insight as to why these finite size effects are observed would me much appreciated. Could there be a "DFT reason" that I am not aware of?</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards,</div><div>James</div><div>________________________________________</div><div><br></div><div><div> &MGRID</div><div> CUTOFF 3.2000000000000000E+02</div><div> REL_CUTOFF 4.0000000000000000E+01</div><div> &END MGRID</div><div> &XC</div><div> DENSITY_CUTOFF 1.0000000000000000E-10</div><div> GRADIENT_CUTOFF 1.0000000000000000E-10</div><div> TAU_CUTOFF 1.0000000000000000E-10</div><div> &XC_GRID</div><div> XC_SMOOTH_RHO NN10</div><div> XC_DERIV SPLINE2_SMOOTH</div><div> &END XC_GRID</div><div> &XC_FUNCTIONAL NO_SHORTCUT</div><div> &PBE T</div><div> &END PBE</div><div> &END XC_FUNCTIONAL</div><div> &VDW_POTENTIAL</div><div> POTENTIAL_TYPE PAIR_POTENTIAL</div><div> &PAIR_POTENTIAL</div><div> R_CUTOFF 1.6000000000000000E+01</div><div> TYPE DFTD3(BJ)</div><div> PARAMETER_FILE_NAME ../input/dftd3.dat</div><div> REFERENCE_FUNCTIONAL PBE</div><div> &END PAIR_POTENTIAL</div><div> &END VDW_POTENTIAL</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
