[Pw_forum] question on electron_dynamics and orthogonalization

[Nichols A. Romero]

Hey,

This is a question about CP code (i.e. not PWSCF). I am using the CVS version.

Are the keywords

electron_dynamics & orthogonolization

completely independent of each other when
electron_dynamics = 'cg'

Forgive, my ignorance. I am mostly familiar with the PWSCF component
of Q-Espresso.

When doing an initial 'cg' calculation to get the groundstate on the
BO surface, doesn't the 'cg' routines impose the orthonomality
constraint automattically? Why does one need a seperate
*orthogonalization* keyword? (which has two different options?)

Thanks,
