    <p>No. The anharmonic code is about vibrational properties.<br>

    <p>You can try to do like in the paper. Or you can try a different
      approach, i.e. replacing the sampling via molecular dynamics with
      a stochastic sampling, like the one provided by the SSCHA code
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sscha.eu/">http://sscha.eu/</a>, which is also compatible with QE. Anyway, the
      supercell they use is tiny (8 atoms, which is just the
      simple-cubic form of GaAs), you should be able to use the
      epsilon.x code that comes with QE (check the manual in
      PP/Doc/man_eps.pdf). I would say, start with just epsilon as a
      function of the volume, test convergence and see if you can afford
      it,.<br>

            <p>Hello Jahid,</p>
            <p>I have read the article very quickly, but I do not think
              they use the RMS to compute epsilon. All they do is
              compute epsilon for a few sample atomic potisions reached
              during the MD run, then they average it. The "Theoretical
              Method" section does not have any logic, but it is
              explained in the "Conclusions". The RMS seems to be only

                <div>Actually, The paper (attached) extracted the

                  displacement per atom of the configuration (GaAs). In
                  the harmonic approximation, they determined the
                  relationship between  mean square displacement and
                  temperature T from the phonon density of states of
                  bulk GaAs calculated by Giannozzi et al. The equation

                <div>So, now If I can find out the RMS of GaAs using
                  CPMD, I will try to observe the corresponding
                  configuration of GaAs atoms. Finally, the atomic
                  positions will be the input of Quantum Espresso pw.x
