[Pw_forum] Negative frequencies in proximity to the Gamma point problem

[Arles V. Gil Rebaza]

Dear Mohammad, try to relax your system using "relax" or "vc-relax"  in
order to reduce the interatomic forces. After that use "scf" calculation

Furthermore, &cell and &ions parts and forc_conv_thr tag does not work  for
scf calculations. Please read the QE manual.
