The time step was set to 25 au, the electron mass 3500 au, a CP run consisted of 500 minimization steps, 200 MD steps starting with null velocities at 300 K, and a variable number of production MD steps at the chosen temperature for a total simulation time between 3 and 5 ps using a Nosé thermostat for the kinetic energy of the electronic wave function. The CP runs were conducted at the Cray XT4 supercomputer of CSC ((http://www.csc.fi) in Espoo, Finland.
