Good evening/Good morning

Mn based spinel materials are known for their peculear properties.
I am test-running various settings for
2 Li4Mn5O12
where 10 Mn4+ may have 30 unpaired electrons in a unit cell.
Becuase of this,
regrdless few atoms in a unit cell,
such system might take a long time.
(I use cp2k 9 compiled under cygwin on my notebook
Intel i7-8750H @ 2.20GHz/32 Gb).
I attach the original cif, current input and output files.
May be, a criticism would be good to record.
Thank you.
Victor
PS: I have noticed that even though I instruct the cell to be triclinic,
the putput file reports Alfa, Beta, Gama to be 90 deg,
what seems to be a defect of cp2k

Hi

you have an inconsistent definition of the cell. The code
apparently picks up the (wrong) definition of the 3 cell vectors
(A, B, C) and ignores the angles. You want to define either
ABC and ALPHA_BETA_GAMMA (Cell vector length and angles)
or the correct Cell vectors A and B and C.

&CELL
SYMMETRY TRICLINIC
A 5.83752969 0.00000000 0.000000000
B 0.00000000 5.83752969 0.000000000
C 0.00000000 0.00000000 13.02123451
ALPHA_BETA_GAMMA 77.2199087 77.2199087 89.79930017

Here it runs well.
