<br>
This is not just a supercell, atoms are moved to phonons via force <br>
constants. Symmetry is reduced.<br>

<br>
All of them. I.e. phonopy needs 72 calculations of forces in order to <br>
compute all the force constants. Btw a 2x1x1 supercell is very likely <br>
going to be too small for whatever you want to compute.<br>
