Dear Lorenzo, The QE code version is 5.0.1. I think that improvement can be achieved when denser k-mesh for self-consistent calculation is considered. What still remains puzzling for me is why other PPs (rrkjus, uspp ak) do not behave (see attached figure, k-mesh is 40x40) like C.pbe-mt_fhi.UPF? I

Dear Shouting, Thank you for your answer. I have thought that sum rules can be applied only for q=0. The output of the dynmat.x says: %% Error in routine readmat (1): Acoustic Sum Rule for q != 0 ? %% The q=(0 0.

Dear all, Let me open question of negative (imaginary) phonon frequencies one more time to the forum. I would like to calculate phonon dispersions for graphene. I can not get rid of negative frequencies for ZA mode in vicinity of Gamma point. Please have a look at attached figure, where different
