Good day/good evening everybody:
recently I compiled cp2k version 9 under Cygwin,
and I am using it with BOMD to try predicting possible
favourable orientations of small aromatic molecules next to graphite.
I attach here one of trial examples, where a small aromatic molecule
is overwhelmed by the original slightly unfavourable initial geometry
that it flies away rather than it would stay next to the surface.
I think, this is reasonable – the interactions with graphate are not strong,
(I included dftd3)
and a better care may be taken for the initial geometry.
However, what I have noticed that for the size of the system,
to have 1-2 steps per day,
the simulation seems to be quite slow.
On one hand, this can be due to the compiled version under Cygwin – I doubt.
On the other hand, because criteria and reasons for setting “environment”
(type of ensemble, thermostat, barostat, Poisson periodicity, stress tensor etc)
are not described for such simulations well anywhere,
there is a bit of intuitive guessing.
If you would find a moment to express your opinion about the input
to point weak spots if you fine, I would be thankful.
Also, … since I present the files
perhaps, your comments could be didactic-helpful for other.
Best for you,
Victor
