I've been trying to find references for the damped quick-min Verlet algorithm
used by PWscf in structural relaxation (when calculation = 'relax' and
ion_dynamics = 'damp'), but about the only references that I find relate to the
quick-min Verlet minimization often used in NEB calculations. Is the same
damped dynamics algorithm used in both the NEB calculations and structural
relaxation? Where might I find references (journal articles, textbooks, etc.)
on the damped dynamics algorithm?
