<p>yes, it is different. Because you would get twice as many
phonons, but half of them would be periodic inside the supercell
(and correspond to Gamma) the other would not be (and correspond
to a zone-border q-point).</p>

<p>The idea is "symmetry reduced".</p>
<p>I.e. DFPT allows you to simulate a monochromatic

frozen phonon can only simulate perturbation which have
the periodicity of the cell you are using. But to break
