<html>Dear all,<br />I'am calculating the exponential vibrationnal entropic prefactor k for a NEB after having calulate the phonons at saddle and initial atomic positions.<br />k=product_3N-3(omega_init)/product_3N-4(omega_saddle).<br /><br />As I have more than 1000 frequencies, the ASR "simple" is very fast (few seconds) but the ASR "crystal" is very long (several days) and need lot of memory even for a supercalculator without the restart possibility.<br />Even if the final diference in the frequencies is small (<5cm^-1), its becomming huge when I do the product ratio:<br />simple k=10^-5<br />crystal k=10^-2<br /><br />Did anyone already face this problem?<br />What is the better option?<br />System is defects in silicon supercell QE 6.3.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Antoine Jay<br />LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France.<br /> </html>
