Dear Gabriele,<div><br></div><div>Thank you very much for your suggestion. After including some smearing, -5000 frequencies disappeared. But this </div><div>still cannot explain the 3X 3X 1 situation. For this reason, I plotted the positions of scf KPOINTS (see the attachments)</div>
<div>and realized that the corner of the Brillouin zone, which is also known as K-special-point, is NOT included for KPOINTS</div><div>other than 3X 3X 1. For graphene, K-special-point also corresponds to the Dirac-Point where zero-band-gap occurs.</div>
<div>As a result, problem should be related with K-special-point. </div><div><br></div><div>BUT. Still I cannot understand why inclusion of a point in BZ corresponds to such a HUGE difference in phonon frequencies.</div>
<div>
Maybe someone in this list gives a better explanation for that....</div><div><br></div><div>All of the files are available at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap; "><a href="http://db.tt/xK2Jtu1">http://db.tt/xK2Jtu1</a></span></div>

Dear Mehmet,<br>
<br>
graphene has zero gap, hence you probably need to include smearing
of the occupations in the scf calculations. <br>

<div>For graphene structure, I noticed that I get completely wrong
phonon frequencies when I use KPOINTS such as 9 9 1, 12 12 1, 15 15 1</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For example:<br clear="all">
<br>
</div>
<div>
<div>K_POINTS {automatic}</div>
<div>11 11 1 0 0 0 </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>gives realistic frequencies as in 11.phonon.out file </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>BUT</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>K_POINTS {automatic}</div>
<div>12 12 1 0 0 0 </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>gives "omega( 1) = -149.592762 [THz] = -4989.910586 [cm-1]"
as in 12.phonon.out</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What should be the reason ????</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
