Dear All Users,<br><br>I was going to calculating phonon frequency of MgB2 at Gamma point.But I got the minus value at the lowest three branch.<br><br> q = ( 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 ) <br> <br> **************************************************************************<br>
omega( 1) = -1.333147 [THz] = -44.469304 [cm-1]<br> omega( 2) = -1.333147 [THz] = -44.469304 [cm-1]<br> omega( 3) = -1.003834 [THz] = -33.484515 [cm-1]<br> omega( 4) = 9.706117 [THz] = 323.763351 [cm-1]<br>
omega( 5) = 9.706117 [THz] = 323.763351 [cm-1]<br> omega( 6) = 11.666010 [THz] = 389.138778 [cm-1]<br> omega( 7) = 15.807885 [THz] = 527.297796 [cm-1]<br> omega( 8) = 15.807885 [THz] = 527.297796 [cm-1]<br>
omega( 9) = 20.623897 [THz] = 687.943739 [cm-1]<br> **************************************************************************<br><br>I had already relax the lattice.And below is my inputs for scf and phonon calculation.Any suggest and comments on how to avoid the minus values was appreciated.<br>
