Thanks for your replies. If you consider the expansion of KS wave functions in the plane-wave basis we have the form [image: Inline image 3] The sum is over a special set of k vectors and energy bands. I need exactly Cnk (G) coefficients when SOC is considered in our calculations. Best, p. s.

[Pw_forum] Error in Phonon dispersion calculation

2017-12-09 Thread Mohammed Ghadiyali
Hi all, I am getting an error while computing the phonon dispersion of a 2D material layer similar to trilayer graphene. I am using the example no 14 of Phonon as the guide. As per the procedure first, I perform an SCF calculation with the k-point grid of 15 X 15 X 1, followed by a ph.x
