Dear CP2K users/developers,

I would like to perform some calculations with CP2K using the hybrid M06 functional. However, it is not obvious to me which set of pseudopotentials should be used to obtain correct results from the calculation, as there are none specific for the Minnesota functionals family.

Thanks in advance, 
Massimo

Hi

probably the best you can do is to take the PBE0 pseudopotentials:

Depending on the elements you need, reoptimizing for M06 would be
a task of minutes to days.

regards

Dear Hutter,

Thank you very much, I will try it and in case run some tests to evaluate how an optimization of the pseudopotentials affects the results.

Regards,
Massimo
