<div dir="ltr">Hi Jessie,<div><br></div><div>If your optimized geometry still get high temperature at the beginning of AIMD, maybe it reached a flat profile of the PES or a metastable structure with high energy. In this case I would run an AIMD with NH thermostat in the MASSIVE setting with a short timescale, to couple thightly each DoF with the thermostat, maybe this helps to thermalize the system, obviously after that you will need to equilibrate with a global thermostat and reasonable timescale.</div><div>It is reasonable that some solvent molecules fly out of the system when the temperature rises a lot.... With an equilibrated system this would not happen. By the way, there are restraints in CP2K to add confinement potentials.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards - Lucas</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">El mar, 23 ago 2022 a las 23:14, Jessie wang (<<a href="mailto:wangchuyan123@gmail.com">wangchuyan123@gmail.com</a>>) escribió:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Thank you Lucas. <div><br></div><div>I've applied geo-opt before AIMD, temperature still rised a lot.

Packmol generates *good* solvation spheres, but they are far away from the minimal energy geometry, and probably the forces on atoms at the first step are very high. This explains why your kinetic energy rised a lot, a huge amount of potential energy is changing to kinetic energy. When I run this type of AIMD, usually relax the structure first with classic MD with OPLS-AA forcefield, to get a better geometrical guess to start the AIMD. Otherwise, you can do a geometrical relaxation (a non-tight relaxation) in ORCA at the same level to get a better geometrical guess. <div>Also, I would add D3(BJ) dispersion correction to your calculation.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards - Lucas</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">El mar, 23 ago 2022 a las 13:57, Jessie wang (<<a rel="nofollow">wangch...@gmail.com</a>>) escribió:<br></div></div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Dear all,<div><br></div><div>I'm trying to do NVT AIMD for a system (a cluster surrounded by water molecules).
