Dear QE users and developers, Recently, I have performed NVE simulation using cp.x for CO2 molecule adsorption on surface graphene. After 0.8 ps simulation, I checked the conservation of Econt (and the oscillation of Econs around a constant. Based on the results of energy.evp, Econt/Econs drift during simulation. My input file is attached. Any suggestions or tips about what might be the reason for this behavior?
