<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Dear QE users,<br><br>I am running CP dynamic with fixed temperature for a given solid system, using cp.x. The microcanonical calculation went very well with a conserved energy.Now the energy is still conserved. But my emphasis is on the mean square displacement(MSD) of atoms. They are calculated and plotted as a function of time.<br>At the begining, the dependence seems to be linear at after, the MSD seem to oscillate around certain values which can be taken as a mean value after a sufficiently long time. My questions are:<br>1) According to the litterature, the dependence at the beginning should be quadratic and became linear after a long time. But for condensed system as a solid it is, the MSD should saturate after a<span style="font-weight: bold;"> very</span> long time. What is happening for my case?<br>2) The MSD computed with cp.x are tree dimensionnal.
Please, confirm it or not.<br>3) In which file should I see how those MSD are computed?<br><br><br>Thanks very much for your help<br><br><br>***************************<br>Bertrand SITAMTZE YOUMBI<br>Laboratory of Material Sciences<br>Department of Physics<br>University of Yaounde I-Cameroon<br>****************************<br><br></td></tr></table><br>
