Dear Sohail Ahmad,
Did you treat the LO-TO splitting? The material seems to have very large
splitting, in the article that you cite 335 cm-1, even if the band gap
is very small. If not, you can see for example the end of
http://people.sissa.it/~degironc/QE-Tutorial/tutorial_phon.htm
on how to calculate that with QE/pw.x+ph.x.
Greetings from Paris,

Dear All,
I am trying to calculate phonon frequencies of ScN,
but i am not getting as reported by Prof Umesh Waghmare group
Journal of Applied Physics, 107, 03715 (2010)
Electronic structure, phonons and thermal properties of ScN, ZrN and HfN
I am not getting any frequency around 600 cm-1.
Pls check and suggest any mistakes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Output (and input )of my calculation at Gamma for ScN is as follows
q = ( 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 )
**************************************************************************
freq ( 1) = 0.073720 [THz] = 2.459027 [cm-1]
freq ( 2) = 0.312948 [THz] = 10.438836 [cm-1]
freq ( 3) = 0.312948 [THz] = 10.438836 [cm-1]
freq ( 4) = 10.407119 [THz] = 347.144126 [cm-1]
freq ( 5) = 10.472361 [THz] = 349.320372 [cm-1]
freq ( 6) = 10.472361 [THz] = 349.320372 [cm-1]
