Dear all,<br>
<br>
I am trying to relax a large structure (about 100 atoms) containing organic<br>
molecules. Since vc-relax using the BFGS algorithm takes a long time to<br>
converge, I want to relax the structure using the Car-Parrinello method<br>
(QE_6.7). I am wondering if the following procedure is correct:<br>
<br>
*1) electron relaxation:*<br>

1000th, 2000th and ... NFIs, but total_energy and total_force is rising.<br>

Any help will be greatly appreciated.<br>
