[Wien] Optimization convergence for phonon calculations.

2018-01-26 Thread Luis Ogando
Dear Wien2k community, I would like to calculate phonon dispersion in a wurtzite system. What convergence values (-ec , -cc and -fc) do you suggest to perform the structure optimization before the forces calculation in the distorted cells ? And for these forces calculation ? Just a curiosit

Yes, of course for phonon calculations you have first to optimize the structure. And for that, TOLF should be reduced, because for phonons you should start with a structure which has "zero" (typically 0.1 to 0.01) forces. tolf tells the code when to stop moving atoms. -fc xx tells the code to

I would like to join this discussion and have two queries! I finished some scf with - fc 0.1.  Previously I was not aware of TOLF but now I see the importance of TOLF factor.  Now I see that TOLF is defined in case.inM. In UG, it is mentioned that "TOLF: force tolerance, geometry optimization w
