Hi,

In fact, these structures are not available yet for phonon DOS calculations via 
QHA. 

But I am working on orthorhombic structures and hopefully will fix it soon. For 
monoclinic structures I am not sure. The presence of? predefined ttrinp file is 
crucial? for the program as it uses the tetrahedra method for integration over 
the IBZ. 


Another way is calculating phonon DOS via matdyn.x and then use obtained phonon 
DOS? with F_QHA.x.

But keep in mind phonon DOS file name for F_QHA.x is PHDOS.out which contains 2 
extra files in the beginning:

#
#? 1000? 320.4? 0.3207
?
The first line is empty
Then? 1000 is total step, 320.4 is the highest frequency in cm^{-1} and 0.3207 
is the fequency step.

Hope this helps. Any questions, please.

Bests,
Eyvaz.

Subject: [Pw_forum] QHA and monoclinic/orthorhombic structures

Dear All,

when trying to understand the Examples of QHA, I saw that the script 
stops execution, when monoclinic or orthorhombic structures are tried to 
be calculated.
Is there a way to get the gibb energy of a monoclinic structure at room 
temperature, anyway? Or is this "ttrinp" not neccesary to do such 
calculations? What is it for, anyways? I couldn't find any documentation 
on it...

Thanks a lot for input on this,
Guntram
