less accuracy until you get the ONE.
However at initial few steps temperature gets too high because of the un-corrected zero point energy, later it gets right if you have right SMASS value.
my question is:
do i need to do zero point energy corrections before i start a NTV kind MD.
thanks for any comments.
There is no zero point energy correction in classical dynamics. By definition, you are treating the nuclei classically.
Also, zero point energy is unrelated to the thermostat. An initial increase in temperature could be due to an unrelaxed initial geometry, but it could not have anything to do with zero point energy

It seems that the vibrational frequency of each atom is listed. How does one extract the vibrational frequency of the system? Thank you forsdan Mon Feb 08 2010, 08:30PM Registered The vibrational frequencies given are the phonon modes at the gamma point. These modes are collective and are not for the individual atoms. Just look at Member #647 the eigenvectors to confirm this. Joined: Mon Apr 24 11:07AM Location: Gothenburg, Sweden 2006, What do you mean by that you want to extract the vibration frequency of the system? The frequencies are already given. If you want the zero-point energy just sum up the different energy contribution from all modes. Please elaborate on what you're after.
