<div>Hello CP2K users,</div><div>I have previously asked a question about what kind of barostat CP2K uses, and Thomas Kuhne linked a paper on MTTK barostat which was very helpful (https://aiichironakano.github.io/phys516/Martyna-Integrator-MolPhys96.pdf).</div><div><br /></div><div>However, I tried to calculate my barostat mass to understand the units and I am still at a loss - currently, my restart BAROSTAT MASS is 3.1175614526535734E+006. According to the CP2K manual, the units could be kg, m_e or amu. I tried to calculate it myself following the MTTK formula and there is no match:<br /><br />W = (N_f + 9)* (k_b*T)/2 * (t_p/2pi)^2</div><div><br /></div><div>where t_p is the time constant (50 fs), T = 1200 K and N_f is degrees of freedom (aka number of atoms? 64 in my system).</div><div><br /></div><div>My result is 6.0124759e-47 J (kg*m2), which is in units of moment of inertia. Even if I convert it to m_e or amu it does not match:<br />
6.0124759e-47 J (kg*m2)
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">(or 3.61328477e+27
amu*m2)</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">(or
6.60031109024e-17 m_e*m2)</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">I was wondering if:</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">1) there are other units I have not considered in CP2K, or if CP2K internally converts to something else.</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">2) Degrees of freedom =/= number of atoms?</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">3) I am supposed to get rid of the m2 term by dividing by area in some way, although I am not sure how scientifically sound it would be, since we have a 3D unit cell.</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Thank you very much!<br /></p>
