Fair enough. For the moment I don't want to compare to anything. I just want to 
extract a number of uncorrelated configurations from the simulation, and to 
know what's the minimum interval at which I should sample configurations.

Something like what's explained in pp. 164-ff of this book:

5 fs? Don't you mean 5 ps? In that case, how do arrive to such value? It can't 
be a simple exponential fit, because the function is oscillating. Do you just 
guess it by the way the amplitude shrinks?

This is my main problem, I don't see how one can fit an exponential to an 
oscillating function.

Thank you,
Ignacio
