[Pw_forum] how to extract data from phonon calculation to plot phonon frequency dispersion curve

[bamidele ibrahim]

Dear Prof. Eyvaz,
  Thanks for that information. I have obtain the necessary files but i don't understand how to use the PlotPhon. The PlotPhon is not part of the executable in the /bin. I tried to used plotband.x but i was asked to input the value of Efermi, which i have not calculated in my calculation. I will be very happy if you can enlightened me more on this.

Thanks,
Ibrahim

Hi,
In order to plot phonon dispersion relations you need interatomic force constants matrix, *.fc file. To get it you have to calculate dynamical matrices for a given number of q-points defined via (nq1 x nq2 x nq3) mesh, then perform FFT to get F(R) - the *.fc file (using q2r.x). Then you can use PlotPhon utility to plot phonon dispersion relations. 

Best regards,Eyvaz.

Dear all,
 I want to plot phonon dispersion frequency curve. i perform scf and phonon calculation at gamma point(0,0,0), where i have an output
 file .dynG. Inside this file, there  are some data which i think is to be use to plot the phonon frequency dispersion curve. but to extract these data is a problem. Can anybody help me out? Your assistance will be appreciated.
thanks,
ibrahim
