Dear QE Developers and users!

I have encountered not so clear to me place while reading seminal paper of Sugino and Car on melting of silicon (10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.1823). To compute the free energy of liquid silicon they in one place used the classical system with known free energy as reference and adiabatically switches interatomic potential from the one described by Car-Parinello dynamics to the classical one described by selected interatomic potential (Stillinger-Weber in the paper). I wonder how this can be implemented in practice. Is there corresponding switches in cp.x input file? Or does the mixing of the classical and quantum systems require use of other tools?

Sincerely yours,
M. V. Kondrin
