[Pw_forum] problem on phonon

[bhabya sahoo]

sir
i am using quantum espresso 4.3 version
i want to study the phase transition of yitrium nitride(yn)
first by doing scf calculation at 0k
i found a phase transition of B1 to B2 transition at 137 gpa for this i used
a 14*14*14 kpoints mesh and convergence achived for scf is 10^-9
i used GGA psudo potentials of pbe type avalable in code of espresso website
for y and n
but when i did the calculation for phonon dispersion
B2 stucter instablity (negative frequency ) in phonon spectrum continues
upto 500 gpa why ?
for this i used 4*4*4* mesh q points for dyanamical matrices i have incresed
further but nothing results
