i.e,<br>has the same structure with Cu3N,PRB 53,12648) by using CASTEP and found<br>it's mechnical stabel ( I find the elastic siffness coefficients of Ag3N<br>satisfy the generalized elastic stability criteria). But when I calculated
<br>the phonon dispersion of Ag3N using PWSCF, I found there was a soft mode<br>along G-X direcition (i.e the phonon frequency is negative). For a negative<br>frequency appear, it means that the structure is not stable? If so, the
<br>results of CASTEP and PWSCF is confict? This quesiton is still confuzed me<br>and I am eager to receive your reply. Thanks!</blockquote>

<div> you should give your input setting of calculation</div><br>

<div>as far as i know, there is no problem for pwscf to calculate metal's lattice dynamics ,</div>
<div>since it is Pseudopotential -plane wave method..</div>
