<HTML><BODY>Hello,<br><br>I am calculating phonons for monolayer LiC6. When I use LDA pseudopotentials I get the correct result but when I switch to GGA I get a negative phonon branch at the high symmetry point M (hexagonal lattice) and its vicinity. I anticipated different behaviour around the Gamma point but everything else normally shouldn't be very different. Is there some specific set of variables that one should add when using GGA pps?<br><br>Another thing, I didn't redo the convergence studies but the parameters I use should be an overkill. I calculated phonons for this material with GGA pps in ABINIT with parameters even less than I used now and there it was all positive. <br><br>Best regards, Mikhail <br><br><br>-- <br>Михаил Петров</BODY></HTML>
