[CP2K-user] [CP2K:17865] Re: Conserved quantity changed and used time increase when during a time in AIMD when do restart with different EPS_SCF

[simon Louis]

Dear  Marcella
Thank you very much for your reply, this problem has troubled me for a long 
time. When I set EPS_SCF to 1.0E-6 during NVT BOMD simulation, the 
conserved quantity always shows a straight line drift, while the time spent 
is basically stable. Is it true that the conserved quantity will increase 
stably in NVT simulation? By the way, can SGCPMD improve the sampling 
efficiency of this system?

Kind regards
