[Pw_forum] QHA example
Dear Pandey and all, Thanks for your reply. I have in fact tried to get the Debye temperature using the executable Debye.x and my input was: ag2.phdos0.00013 15 31000 10 However the output was weird as it was full of "NaN". What could be the problem? Is it the limits I have inserted?This is a part of the output: # factor === 1.# The first moment of phonon frequencies : NaN [cm^-1] NaN [THz]# The second moment of phonon frequencies : NaN [cm^-2] NaN[THz^2]# Debye temperature via the first moment of phonon frequencies:NaN[ K]# Debye_{\infty}via the second moment of phonon frequencies:NaN[ K]3.00 NaN 0.

There you find 'Edit_Me' file. Edit that file corresponding to your needs. Then there is another file 'Run_Me' script and run it. You will find your Debye tempearture setting in your Edit_Me file. For QHA, you have to only required IFC file as a input that is *.fc extension which is obtained by q2r.x utility. I hope it will help you.

I have looked at the examples (Al, Si,...) in the QHA folder; however I got confused about what the inputs should be for both the thermodynamic properties and the Debye temperature computation. (1) Can anyone please tell me explicitly what the inputs should be? I have already done the PHDOS for my system. (2) what executable should I use for both? is it the fqha.x?

[Pw_forum] phonon dispersion with experimental structure
Dear everyone, Does one have to relax the structure before doing phonon calculations? If I calculate the phonon dispersion of a material with the experimental structure at different pressures, Can I get get the phonon dispersions without negtive frequencies at different pressures ? I know that one has to optimize the structure before doing phonon calculation when using the small displacement method, but I am not sure if one has to optimize the structure before doing phonon calculations when using linear response theory. I want to calculate the electron-phonon interaction properties with the experimental structures at different pressures. If I don't optimize the structures, Can I get the phonon dispersions without negtive frequencies ? Thanks in advance! -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Pw_forum] phonon dispersion with experimental structure
the phonon code calculate the second order derivative of the energy at the given configuration. this can be done even the first order derivatives are non vanishing. provided the structure is not too far from the minimum the computed curvature can still quite close to the one one could have computed at equilibrium but it is an approximation to it. stefano On 05/01/2013 05:18 PM, ding wrote: > Dear everyone, >Does one have to relax the structure before doing phonon calculations?

[Pw_forum] restarts
Hi I recently saw a post about restarts. I am not sure where to find information about restarting a job that did not finish because of time constraints on the machine I am using-is there a way to do that for scf calculations?
