[Pw_forum] The cell blowing up in MD simulation

[Tian Lan]

Hi,
Thank you. So It means that I cannot exactly copy the setup of scf
calculation to the cp calculation because in scf I used a much denser
k-mesh but cp calculation only uses the Gamma point. Then how could I do
the best to eliminate this difference in the MD calculation? I just find a
blowing supercell in MD that otherwise in equilibrium in scf.

You said last time that my two calculations, though energies are similar in
both calculation but not that close, so ask me to use the exactly the same
setup in MD as that in scf. And maybe nr1b sets are also senstive
parameters. According to your experience, what should I modify then?

Best,
Tian
