when I optimize the system with multiplicity equals to 2 using the cp2k code, I find that the integrated absolute spin density is very high to 180. I think it is wrong, because the energy is very low, which leads to the adsorption energy is -40 eV. Obviously, it is wrong. Anyone can give me some suggestion? The following is my input file :
