Ab initio MD: CPMD<br />

• Energies <br />

Conserved total energy<br />

Physical total energy<br />

(EHAM)<br />

(ECLASSIC)<br />

Electronic (potential) energy: oscillatory (EKS)<br />

Fictitious kinetic energy of the electrons:<br />

bound oscillations around a constant value,<br />

i.e. the electrons do not heat up (T e = measure<br />

for the deviation from the BO surface) (EKINC)<br />

Restrictions of CP MD:<br />

• Number of atoms ≈ 100 – 1000<br />

• Δt ≈ 0.1 fs<br />

• t ≈ few tens of ps
