Hello,

Sometime ago, I used cp2k version 2.6 with the basis set TZV2PX-MOLOPT-GTH-q4 with the potential GTH-PBE-q4. I am now preparing cp2k files to be used in version 7.1, however, I cannot find this basis set in the updated data files found here:


Has it been renamed? Can I still use the older data files with the newer cp2k versions?

Thanks
eftrsd

Dear eftrsd,
I have never heard of this page before but if you mean the parameters for Carbon, then I am able to find them there. I am sure that you are able to find the parameters in the data directory (compare the current https://github.com/cp2k/cp2k/tree/master/data) of your CP2K installation.
Anyways, is there a specific reason to stick to such an old version released 5 years ago? The current release is 2024.1.
Best,
Frederick

Hi Frederick,

Thanks for your response. Actually, the 7.1 and 9.1 versions are the only available options on the HPC that I can use currently. I am actually having trouble running a job on this HPC. So I would appreciate it a lot if someone ran the attached job oon their hardware and let me know if the run was successful. 

Thanks,
eftrsd

Dear eftrsd, 

the website is accessing the files within cp2K/data. The correct 
one for the particular basis set you are requesting is:  
Therein the TZV2PX-MOLOPT-GTH-q4 for carbs is present. 

Best, 
Thomas Kühne

P.S. BTW, I am also able to retrieve the correct basis sets and PPs 
also vie Pierre Beaujean’s website …

Dear eftrsd,
Your input file contains tabs, please replace them with spaces (`sed -i "s/\t/ /g" cp2k.inp`). Beware that starting from version 8.1, the keyword MAP_CONSISTENT is not available anymore and has to be removed (its behavior became the default). With these changes, I can run your input file with the development version. You should set EPS_SCF in your OUTER_SCF section to ${SCF_CONV} 
As a next step, optimize EPS_DEFAULT, CUTOFF and EPS_SCF.
Please ensure that you provide correct periodicities. To me, it appears as if you want to simulate a fullerene molecule for which you should set PERIODICITY NONE in the CELL and the PERIODIC sections (default: XYZ=3D periodic).
HTH,
Frederick
