<div>Dear Prof. Eyvaz lsaev,</div>
<div> Thank you for your suggestion. I have another problem concerning this question. The keyword "conv_thr" is the convergence threshold for scf, and the "th2_ph" is the threshold for selfconsistency in phonon calculation. What is the difference between the two keywords? Previously I thought that the two keywords are both for wavefunction optimization and they should have the same meaning. </div>
