Dear Ellie, For phonon calculation you definitely need to converge forces and energy to much accuracy. First check the convergence for these two for relax calculation then do phonon calculation. On Mon, Sep 12, 2011 at 2:50 AM, Elie Moujaes wrote: > Dear all, > I am still "fighting" with the 60

[Pw_forum] relaxation of the 60 C atom supercell

Dear all, I am still "fighting" with the 60 carbon atom system that I am trying to relax. I did a relaxation using 4 k-points and I got the system relaxed then I did an scf calculation with 25 points (for phonon calculations) and the total force is 0.099839. Does this mean that using 4 points
