Dear QE Users and Developers,
Kindly, I am new to cp.x, and in the course of ionic propagation at some given temperature, I noticed that the fictitious kinetic energy increases at some finite ionic steps. This may cause ions feel erroneous forces and therefore erroneous trajectories. So I think one needs to repeat electronic minimization after say some N ionic steps. Maybbe also decreasing timestep helps the speed of electron wavefunctions to remain near to zero. My question is: Is there an automatic way in the code to detect, say, ekinc ecceeds some threshold and switch to electron minimization? Any comments is highly appreciated.
