Dear QE users,
I am running CP dynamic with fixed temperature for a given solid system, using
cp.x. The microcanonical calculation went very well with a conserved energy.Now
the energy is still conserved. But my emphasis is on the mean square
displacement(MSD) of atoms. They are calculated and plotted as a function of
time.
At the begining, the dependence seems to be linear at after, the MSD seem to
oscillate around certain values which can be taken as a mean value after a
sufficiently long time. My questions are:
1) According to the litterature, the dependence at the beginning should be
quadratic and became linear after a long time. But for condensed system as a
solid it is, the MSD should saturate after a very long time. What is happening
for my case?
2) The MSD computed with cp.x are tree dimensionnal. Please, confirm it or not.
3) In which file should I see how those MSD are computed?
Thanks very much for your help
