[Pw_forum] Single q-point calculation

[Eyvaz Isaev]

Hi,


You can use options in ph.in file: start_q=5, last_q=5 to calculate phonons for 
particular q-point(s) from the mesh.
The result should not depend on the way how you got these dyn-files (supposing 
all parameters are the same and correct). 


The way you used is more convenient for a general q-point not presented in 
q-mesh.

Bests,
Eyvaz.

       7   0.333333333   0.577350269   0.000000000

in my output file.
I just want to ask, that is it wise to run the calculation usingldisp =true 
(graph.ph.in), which calculate the phonon frequencies one by one or 


Seven different calculations, using the above seven different q-points, using 
single q-point calculation (graph-singleq.ph.in)

Is both the ways gives final result same?

Because the latter method takes less time, than previous.


thanks
