    <p>Hello Mohammed</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>If the phonon were computed with phononpy for any numerical
      problem maybe you will find more help in the forum of phononpy
      users.   <br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Could you provide more information about the structure ?  Is it
      3D or 2D ? <br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>

    <p>greetings - pietro    <br>

            <p>I am working on a bilayer tin system and has performed
              geometry relaxation using Quantum Espresso 5.4.0 of the
              structure via:</p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p>1. One relax calculation - for coordinate relaxation </p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p>2. One vc-relax calculation with cell_do_free as 2Dxy
              - for coordinate and cell shape relaxation</p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">3. Two vc-relax
                calculation with cell_do_free as shape - </span><span
                style="font-size: 12pt;">for coordinate and cell shape
                relaxation with constant volume.</span><br>
            </p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p>these calculations were performed with, <span
                style="font-size: 12pt;">ecutwfc = 60 Ry and K-point
                mesh as 10 10 1, 1 1 1.</span></p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p>Further, phonon calculations were performed using the
              phononpy 1.11.0 package with the same parameters. The </p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p>structure <span style="font-size: 12pt;">seem to gotten
                relaxed but it still has some negative frequencies near
                the Gamma point, are these's negative </span></p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p>frequencies numerical instabilities or the structure is
              unstable.</p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p><br>
            </p>
            <p>I am attaching the phonon dispersion file. Please advice.</p>
