Dear sir,<br>
The system is Sb2Se3 (SG-166). No, the scalar relativistic phonon calculation also does not have correct symmetry. I used PBE-GGA NC PP .<br>
I have one more question. Why doesn't the pw.x code give pressure on the system in spin-orbit calculation? Can we get any idea of the actual pressure of the system from the scalar relativistic/non relativistic calculation?<br>

Can you give more information? Which system is it? Does the scalar<br>
relativistic phonon calculation have the correct symmetry?<br>
