Hello QE Community, I am trying to simulate the metals at high temperatures (~2500K) using the cpmd (cp.x) method. I followed this two ways, For *electron cg dynamics* electron kinetic energy completely attaches to BO surfaces (i.e. ekinc=0) which i run upto 1.2 ps and for *electron damp dynamics*, i maintain the electron kinetic energy 10 times lower than the kinetic energy of ions upto 5 ps. Still, not getting smooth g(r). From the literature I found that 4ps is enough to equilibrate the structure at a certain temperature in AIMD simulation and randomize the structure. electron_dynamics = cg or damp in both cases my g(r) RDF does not look smooth compared to the g(r) of LAMMPS MD simulation. -Is there any difference between RDF g(r) of cp.x CPMD and LAMMPS MD ? You can see the g(r) differences from attached files.
