Hello all,<div><br></div><div>For the phonon dispersion calculation, I've done the convergence test by 'vc_relax' calculation and re-assigned the lattice parameters (celldm(1), celldm(4), conv_thr, and ATOMIC_POSITIONS). However, my phonon dispersion still behave a bit weird (negative acoustic frequency, LO-TO splitting).</div>
<div><br></div><div>My structure is very complicated, rhombohedron with 5 basis, and now I guess it might be the convergence threshold (tr2_ph). My 'tr2_ph' has been set as '1.0d-14' </div><div><br></div><div>
I am looking for the way of finding a proper tr2_ph value. Is there any convergence test for that? My simulation would run more than 50 hrs, so I don't want to just give it a shot with randomly picked value.</div><div>
<br></div><div>Thanks as always.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Kyeong</div>
