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.

Hi Dr. Paulatto,

Thank you for your advice. I also like your idea about epsilon.x. But 
the dielectric function we get using epsilon.x (QE), Isn't it for only 
0 K? How can I extend it to another temperature?


It is computed with an electronic temperature of 0K, but it is exactly 
the same as in the paper you are trying to reproduce. But this is not a 
big deal, there is very little direct effect of temperature on 
electrons: compare the energy of thermal excitation (k_B T) with the 
band gap of GaAs and you will see why. I.e. electron orbitals are far 
too rigid to be affected by temperature, especially in insulators. Even 
in metal we use fictitious electronic temperature to speed up 
integration (aka smearing) that is of the order of 1'000K, and it does 
not change the electronic structure much. The effect only come through 
the motion of ions, so move the ions and you got finite temperature.


But do not believe me: change the electronic occupation to "smearing" 
and set a Fermi-Dirca smearing which is equivalent to the temperature 
you want (it is in Ry, i.e. 1 Ry = 157'887 K). Then see how, much the 
total energy and band structure change. how many k-points do you need to 
have a discernible Fermi surface at the to of valence band, etc.

You can try to do like in the paper. Or you can try a different
approach, i.e. replacing the sampling via molecular dynamics with
a stochastic sampling, like the one provided by the SSCHA code
http://sscha.eu/, which is also compatible with QE. Anyway, the
supercell they use is tiny (8 atoms, which is just the
simple-cubic form of GaAs), you should be able to use the
epsilon.x code that comes with QE (check the manual in
PP/Doc/man_eps.pdf). I would say, start with just epsilon as a
function of the volume, test convergence and see if you can afford
it,.

I would guess that you calculate the static dielectric constant at the 
temperature-dependent volume (experimental, or quasi-harmonic) and you 
are 90% of the way there. Do you have a specific reason to believe that 
it would be proportional to the RMS ?


Btw, the code d3_r2q.x included with the "anharmonic" package can 
compute the RMS from an inexpensive phonon calculation, maybe have a 
look at it before doing a large supercell MD.

Thank you.

Dear QE community,

I want to calculate the mean square displacement of GaAs using
CPMD. From the mean square displacement, I want to extract the
configuration of atoms (e.g atomic position of Ga and As). Could
anyone please give me some guidelines on how I can perform it?
Should I use only the cp.x package or by other means? Your time
and suggestions would be a great help for me.
