[QE-users] A few questions about cell dynamics

2020-10-18 Thread Andrii Shyichuk
Dear Users, I study a certain defect in a crystal, where there are two states (geometries), say, A and B. Structure B is a meta-stable state: - with PW vc-relax I get an optimized B structure; - structure A total energy is lower than B total energy, and B can in principle morph into A; - NEB

Dear Andrii 1) you cannot make a direct comparison between your NEB computed barrier and the MD-estimated transition temperature. It is not possible (I believe) to extract an energy barrier from a single MD run. But you can make several runs at different temperatures, and extract the barrier
