Hi, everyone,<br><br><br>I took some time to use cp.x in
PWSCF. And about some parameters in vc-cp situation, I am puzzled.<br><br>In the IONS namelist,<br>(1) ion_nstep <br>
The ion_nstep default value is 1, does it mean calculate 1 time
electronic WFs then then to do ionic step? If so, maybe in an adiabatic
dynamic, 1 step means more time consuming. So, a little larger
ion_nstep, but not to much, may save time to do a MD calculation and
keep the dynamic adiabatic at the same time. Is it right? What possible
value we often set this parameter, 3 or 5 or 10 or larger? How and when
we are able to know the dynamic process is not adiabatic?<br>
<br>(2) fnosep<br> As mentioned in the Doc/input_CP, fnosep means
the oscillation freq. of the nose thermostat. While in the
Doc/INPUT.HOWTO, I was told QNP=2*g*Kb/Omega^2, where Omega is the
typical ionic frequency. Dose fnosep and Omega represent the same thing?<br>
If a system was calculated with the phonon frequency at Gamma
point, such as 100cm^-1, 200cm^-1, 500cm^-1 respective, How should I
set the fnosep? is fnosep=7.5 ok, because of 3 THz=100cm^-1 and Omega
should be half of the maximum phonon freq?<br>
<br>In the SYSTEM namelist,<br>(3)ecfixed, qcutz, q2sigma<br> What
is the general value we often use in vc-MD process? I think this
question is stupid, these parameters value may come from experience.
While how can I know, the value I set is ok or bad?<br>
