The approach implemented in VASP is based on a local temperature density approximation with limited temperature (with free energy as variable value) and an accurate assessment of the instantaneous electronic ground state at each MD stage using effective matrix schemes and Pulay mixing scheme. These techniques avoid all the problems in the original Car-Parrinello method, which is based on the simultaneous integration of electrons and ionic equations of motion. The interaction between ions and electrons is described using Vanderbilt ultrasoft quasi-potentials (US-PP) or Advanced Projector Wave Method (PAW). Both techniques allow a significant reduction in the number of waves per atom for transition metals and first-order elements.
