[Pw_forum] Langevin dynamics

2015-09-10 Thread Venkataramana Imandi
Dear Dr. Xiaochuan Ge

Thank you for intimating particularly about time step in the Langevin
dynamics. I tried with 2.D0 (0.1 fs), however, system is exploding. I tried
according to your suggestion 0.2D0 (0.01 fs), it is working. I am asking
you is there any possibility to do Langevin dynamics at higher timestep
e.g. 0.1 fs or 0.2 fs. If there such type of possibility, please inform me
as soon as possible and what parameters i have to alter in the input file
for doing Langevin dynamics at higher time step.

Once again thanks for remembering me about Langevin dynamics is successful
at small time step.

Dear Venkataramana,

I have some experience using the Langevin code. ?Before we go further to
understand your problem, I would suggest you to significantly lower the dt
and try again. Please try dt=0.2 instead of 20. If it still does not work,
please let me know.

Best,

2015-08-19 Thread Venkataramana Imandi
Dear Paolo Giannozzi sir,



Thank you sir for your kind reply and sorry for delaying reply. I felt same
thing while reading previous threads in pw_forum archives. According to
suggestions given by Ari Paavo Seitsonen sir, I made all corrections and
tried my level best. All trials lead to collapse of structure during
Langevin dynamics.

Langevin dynamics was implemented many years ago in QE, but I have never
heard of anybody using it, nor seen any evidence that it works (or that it
doesn't).

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am using quantum espresso (version:5.1.2) for doing Langevin dynamics on
Ethene molecules were kept top and bottom of silver oxide surface (total
atoms: 37) running on Red Hat machine with serial and parallel process. In
the output file, the coordinates of some of the atoms getting starred(***).
In order to understand more about results, I tried with simple systems
containing 2 Si atoms, the results shows that Langevin dynamics is working
fine but the distance between two Si atoms goes on increasing (at the end
of 100 md steps, the distance is 560 Angstroms). Moreover, herein Langevin
dynamics is over-damped and the parameter of gamma (friction coefficient)
is not mentioned anywhere in the input file description of pw.x related

calculations on my original system. Input file and starred(**) coordinates
