<div><font size="2">Dear all,</font></div>
<div><font size="2">I have some questions about Phonon calculation.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">1. If I use ph.x to run the graphene phonon dispersion and
pdos</font><font size="2">,</font></div>
<div><font size="2"> should I use the q points which is
multiple of 6 because of the hexagonal shape of grathpene crystal?</font></div></div></blockquote><div>I do not think so. But before calculation, you must know which q points you want to get.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<div bgcolor="#ffffff">
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">2. When I run phonon-dispersion calculation, it always cost
very long cpu time. Is that normal?</font></div></div></blockquote><div>Phonon calculation always costs more time than electron scf calculation. Approximately, each q point needs 3*n scf calculation(n is the number of atoms in primitive unit cell).</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div bgcolor="#ffffff">
<div><font size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2">3. </font><font size="2">Can QE calculate vibration
mode?</font></div></div></blockquote><div>Yes , of course. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div bgcolor="#ffffff">
<div><font size="2"> How could I set terms in <a href="http://ph.in" target="_blank">ph.in</a> to get
vibration mode? </font></div></div></blockquote><div>Searching in google. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div bgcolor="#ffffff">
<div><font size="2"> And how could I plot the
vibration mode from the output file?</font></div></div></blockquote><div>I do not think you can plot it with QE.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
