<br>
In order to make sure you have a nesting of the Fermi surface you should plot the nesting function (the double deltas function); the points where you see the peaks are the nesting points of the Fermi surface.<br>
<br>
The phonon softening in the phonon dispersion that you observe should be a Kohn anomaly. It is likely to be related to the Fermi nesting, but not straightforward.<br>
<br>
You can have a look at some of the literature about, like for example ”Johannes and Main PRB 77, 2008”, "Zhu X. Et al PNAS 2015", or more standard books like Khomskii “Basic aspects of quantum theory of solids”, Chapter 9 and 11.<br>

>> Dear All<br>
>> I am writing to get some clarification about the nesting of the Fermi surface. Since the FS geometry looks complex, I need help understanding it correctly. Sorry for asking non-QE-related question. I have calculated the Fermi surface for a conventional cell and projected it onto the primitive cell. When examining a slice along the 110 direction, I noticed two parallel lines at the boundary's edge. Further in the phonon calculation, I observed phonon softening (imaginary frequency) at the same M point. Is there a connection between this stitching of surfaces on the Fermi surface and the observed phonon softening, and finally, is there a nesting? I am attaching the relevant pictures. Thanks in advance for your suggestion.<br>
