<div>Dear Eyvaz Isaev:</div>
<div>Thank you for your advice.My k-point is chosen by Xcrysden.such as:</div>
<div>G 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 <br>K -0.7500000000 -0.3750000000 -0.3750000000 <br>X -0.5000000000 0.0000000000 -0.5000000000 <br>G 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 <br>
L - 0.5000000000 -0.5000000000 -0.5000000000 <br>X 0.0000000000 -0.5000000000 -0.5000000000 </div>

<div>1.only chang K,Xpoint of K-G path to K(0.75,0.75,0), X point (1, 1, 0) </div>
<div>2.all k point multipy 2 times.</div>
<div> such as:</div>

<div> such as</div>
<div>

<div style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Hi,<br><br>First of all I would recommend the use of PlotPhon utility to plot phonon dispersion relations. For this one you have to have calculated interatomic force constants matrix (*.fc) file.<br>
<br>Regarding your particular question: you should choose K(0.75,0.75,0), then from the K point go to the X point (1, 1, 0) which is equivalent to <br>the X(1,0,0) point. Then from the X(1,0,0) to the Gamma (0,0,0) point.<br>
Dashed line just means that we can continue in this direction to match phonons at the X point (i.e. it is an intermediate point from the Gamma to the X point) .<br><br>Please also provide your affiliation.<br><br>Bests,<br>

<div>
<div></div>
<div class="h5"><br>
<p>My pwscf is used in calculating Si phonon dispersion.The trend of picture in </p>
<p>most special Symmetry is right.But the only K-X is wrong.I use Xcrysden to </p>
<p>get K-point.<br>I found most paper is dash line in 'K' point.So what is mean? Please anyone </p>
<p>could tell me! Thanks!<br>The attachment is my picture and reference paper.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Pw_forum mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Pw_forum@pwscf.org">Pw_forum@pwscf.org</a><br>
