2011-06-20 Thread pascal boulet
Dear all, I am optimizing the cell parameters of some compounds. With pw.x version 4.2.1 the optimized parameters are given at the end of the output. It seems that it is not the case with version 4.3.1, even with verbosity='high'. Is it possible to reactivate the priniting of the optimized parame

Dear Nicola, I confirm that I have no problem to converge the density with the ensemble-DFT algorithm. I am working on silver nanoparticules. With a small one (13 atoms only) the convergence is reach within 10 cycles. I am going to try with a bigger one soon (38 atoms). Regards Pascal *

Dear all, It seems that my first post was completely unreadable (html). Sorry for that. Here is the content. I am trying to run a CP simulation (cp.x) of a molecule in contact with a small metallic cluster of atoms. First here is the input file of my test job: &CONTROL title = 'MD',
