Dear all, I splittet a phonon calculation with start_q, last_q and start_irr & last_irr into each representation. Everything worked perfectly fine with QE 4.3.1 for my system when I use *.pz.vbc-pseudopotential. But I wanted to use PAW-pseudopotentials (which I created with atomPAW) and when I use the same splitting I get differences in the frequencies. I followed the GRID_example for the AlAs system and got the following differences in the frequencies: without splitting: omega( 1-3) = -0.420632 [THz] = -14.030759 [cm-1] omega( 4-6) = 22.373134 [THz] = 746.287424 [cm-1] with splitting: omega( 1-3) = 0.225621 [THz] = 7.525921 [cm-1] omega( 4-6) = 22.384860 [THz] = 746.678569 [cm-1]
Did I copied the wrong files for each job or is the a problem with the code when using PAW-pseudopotentials? Regards, Thomas
