        <div>Actually, The paper (

          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><img src="cid:ii_18cfe82aa5acb971f161" alt="image.png" width="371" height="117"></div>
        <div>Here is the figure they generated <br>

        <div><br>
        </div>
        <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>

        <div>Can I use  it (
