Hi all,<br><br> I posted this issue one week ago. Now I have relaxed the structure and got total force less than 5.0D-5. I used a large cubic supercell with 30bohr alat and ecutwfc up to 50Ry. However, things only went worse. The highest frequency from
ph.x dropped from 3187 cm^(-1) to 1849, while gaussian03 shows it should be around 3300cm^(-1).<br><br>I also checked H2 molecule. In this case, I got three negative values and three positive ones( values are 898,898,3679cm^-1 ). But there should be only ONE vibrational frequency which corresponds to the stretching mode along bonding direction. And the highest freq. is also too low (should be around 43xx).
<br><br>I really couldn't figure out what's wrong. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!<br><br>The input files for H2 are: <br>---------------------------scf_input-----------------(run two times just like example07 )-----
