Dear cp2k users and developers,
I am testing a NVE simulation with velocity scaling for crystalline CaO (300 K) and having questions regarding the drift of center of mass.
In a regular NVE simulation, I am expecting that (1) the simulation box is fixed and positions of atoms can be in fractional/scaled or Cartesian units, (2) if atoms moved out of the simulation box, they can be folded back to the box or left unchanged, (3) the mass-averaged position centers oscillate around x, y, z direction. I am showing the center of mass positions from VASP, which are consistent with the expectation.
If I do the same for cp2k (input file enclosed), I am clearly seeing drift of center of mass. If I analyze the dynamics of the trajectory (now shown), it appears that both Ca and O atoms are diffusing instead of vibrating, as obtained from VASP trajectory.
I am wondering if you have seen similar behaviors or if I have the wrong settings in the input file.
Thanks, Wei
