Dear S. Chab: Definitely, I am not clear about your system. Which is the 4x4x4 M-P mesh? for k-points or q-points? If it is for k-points, then I think it is too small. But any way, I think the convergence test and well relaxation should be done before phonon calculation. For the [110] direction,

Dear Users, I am trying to calculate the full phonon spectrum of a ferromagnetic alloy but the results that I found are not matching with literature. So I want to know (1) How to assign 110-direction for a grid calculation? (2)Whether calculating phonon spectrum from Gamma to X point along 110
