[Pw_forum] regarding energies obtained on running fqha.x

Hi,

More precisely, it is the phonon contribution to the
free  energy.

Ry per cell you used to calculate phonons, but not
primitive unit cell.

That is strange. It might be that there is a mistake
in your supercell setup. If not the case, your phonon
setup is not careful. 

Bests,
Eyvaz.
