[Pw_forum] relaxation

[meisam aghtar]

Dear Paolo and Hande
At first I appreciate you for your help. You were right the system was relaxed with a small broadening.
I thought that this system is semiconductor like many other hydrogenated nanotubes , but it was metallic with a high density of bands near Fermi surface. Another problem is that I’m not sure that I could use BFGS in relaxing this system because achieving the lowest energy is more important than remaining the symmetries of the system. Should I use damp method or MD? Would you please introduce me papers containing these relaxation methods about when and how these methods are used? 
 
Thanks
