Re: [Pw_forum] Problem in CPMD simulation

2017-02-20 Thread Biswajit Santra
Hello,

If your problem is not yet solved you may contact me. We have developed a
BOMD scheme within CP formalism, which should work for your system, in
principle. The development is still not part of the publicly available QE
code. We plan to do that in future. However, we can share our version of
the code if you are interested to use.

Best wishes,
Biswajit

Try repeating the calculations without setting electron_temperature.
use ion_temperature = 'rescaling', without fnosep.

With my best regards,
Ashkan
