<div>Thank you so much for your suggestions. I was going in the
wrong direction. So if I use your recommended code (<a

would I be able to generate the following figure for Bulk
GaAs?</div>

<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>
<p>kind regards</p>

<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
used to ascertain the validity of the simulation.<br>

<div>Actually, The paper (attached) extracted the
temperature of each configuration from the mean square
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
as follows: </div>

<div>Here is the figure they generated <br>

<div><br>
</div>
<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
etc ( I mean normally how do we calculate dielectric
constant in QE).</div>

<p>I would guess that you calculate the static
dielectric constant at the temperature-dependent
volume (experimental, or quasi-harmonic) and you
are 90% of the way there. Do you have a specific
reason to believe that it would be proportional to
the RMS ?</p>
<p>Btw, the code d3_r2q.x included with the
"anharmonic" package can compute the RMS from an
inexpensive phonon calculation, maybe have a look
at it before doing a large supercell MD.</p>
