[QE-users] Requested some guidelines in First-principles molecular dynamics

[Md. Jahid Hasan Sagor]

Hi Dr. Paulatto,

Thank you so much for your fruitful suggestions. I will do that in QE
accordingly. Though I have very limited knowledge in QE, your explanation
is understandable. Thank you so much.

Best
Md Jahid
