Dear siesta uses:  

Recently, I want to do some molecular dynamic simulations at finite 
temperature for large systems containing about 600 atoms. As the 
system is huge one, Order-N method is a good choice. I do not have 
experience about Order-N calculations and need helpfrom you.

I have two questions as list following:

I.:Can I use Order-N method to do finite-temperature(for example 3500K)     
    molecular dynamic calculations?

II:The Order-N method just can be used for the system with large band gap.
    Does there some criterion existing for the value of band gap?  
    In other words,  How can I determine where the band gap is enough or 
    not for the Order-N method? 

Thanks very much!

Best wishes

Yours: Wang
