Dear Dr. Stefano and Dr. Nicola Marzari thanks for your quick reply.<br>Actualy i have calculated the Helmholtz free energy (F) which is given as<br><br> F(V, T) = E0(V) + Fvib (V, T).<br><br>The Fvib(V, T) is calculated by PH/fqha.x utility and E0(V) is the equilibrium ground state energy which is calculated by pw.x.<br>
it is stated in a research paper>>>>For a given T and V, the equilibrium state of the crystal<br>is determined by minimising F with respect to all possible<br>degrees of freedom. The equation of state (pressure (P) versus<br>
V) of the system is obtained by equating P to minus the<br>derivative of F with respect to V at constant T, or P = − (∂F/∂V)<font size="1">T</font> <<<<<<<br><br>Sir i was tried for QHA package in QE as given paper <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1112.4977v1" target="_blank">http://arxiv.org/abs/1112.4977v1</a> , it is using the QHA pakage which is not well understood by me and also this was giving wrong result but it was ok with PH/fqha.x. <br>

Dear All,<br>
I want to incorporate the temperature effect in my calculation. As i<br>
know for this purpose firstly i have to compute the free energy and then<br>
this free energy is added to the ground state total energy(T=0,P=0).<br>
then by the equation of state we have to find out the lattice parameter.<br>
But i am wonder if i am trying to fit eos, it will give the equilibrium<br>
lattice parameter not the temperature dependent lattice parameter.<br>
Please let me know whether i am proceeding wrong way if so then how can<br>
i obtained my lattice parameter which is dependent upon temperature?<br>
Any type of help is highly appreciable .<br>
<br>
