This example is adapted from
cp2k/benchmarks/QS/H2O-64.inp
.
Please follow the official tutorial to understand the sections/keywords used in input.inp
, including:
-
GLOBAL
: global setup (e.g., name, run type, etc.) -
FORCE_EVAL/SUBSYS
: system information (e.g., cell, atoms, etc.)Instead of using
COORD
section (as in the website), atomic coordinates can also be written in an additional file (e.g.,coord.xyz
) and be included via&TOPOLOGY COORD_FILE_FORMAT XYZ COORD_FILE_NAME coord.xyz &END TOPOLOGY
-
FORCE_EVAL/DFT
: DFT setupSCF
: convergence, maximum number of SCF cycles, etc.XC
: exchange-correlation functionalBASIS_SET_FILE_NAME
andPOTENTIAL_FILE_NAME
: Gaussian basis set and pseudopotential- (optional)
MGRID
: multigrid settings -> how the basis set would be used for periodic systems
