Dear all,
I have two questions which i needed an assistance on how to go about it. I will be delighted if anybody in the forum can come to my aid.
The first question goes as:
How can i calculate the elastic constants(C11,C12 and C44) at (0 K) and (0 GPa) of a semiconductor compound using pwscf ?.
The second question:
In studying the phase transition, we need to analysed the enthalpy variation with pressure. Where the enthalpy(H) = E + PV. So, how can this be implemented using pwscf?
These are my questions.
