Dear Ashkan,
this is not the first time that I see you giving this advice. Do you have any 
specific reason for choosing a factor 5?
Kanak only has norm-conserving pseudos, which normally do not require any more 
than the default value: ecutrho=4*ecutwfc. Using 5 instead of 4 would require 
an interpolation at every scf step, which takes cpu time and memory.

dt is not used by BFGS

kind regards
