[Pw_forum] the sum of the born effective charge in phonon calculation

[程迎春]

Dear Prof. Eyvaz lsaev,
        Thank you for your suggestion.  I have another problem concerning
this question.  The keyword "conv_thr" is the convergence threshold for scf,
and the "th2_ph" is the threshold for selfconsistency in phonon
calculation.  What is the difference between the two keywords?   Previously
I thought that the two keywords are both for wavefunction optimization and
they should have the same meaning.
