 For BLYP functional some smoothing needs to be applied. The smoothing may also converge forces more rapidly than the default settings, but at the expense of modifying the functional slightly. For BLYP functional some smoothing needs to be applied.

 +compare to the previous calculation, but using a smoothing section in the XC section.

 +      &XC_GRID

 +Also change the psuedo potential to the appropriate functional.
 +<code>
 +    &KIND O
 +      BASIS_SET DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH-q6
 +      POTENTIAL GTH-PADE-q6
 +    &END KIND
 +</code>
 +PADE is a synonym for LDA.
