Dear All

I am calculating the band structure of phagraphyne. First we computed for primitive unit cell and then for the 2X2 supercell. Although the bulk structure is same the band structure is different. What is the problem ?  Should parameters be optimized again for supercell?

Hello,
it is printed in the output of phonon at the end of the calculation, i.e.:
...
    End of self-consistent calculation

Dear Alan,
     I think that there is no problem in doing a G=0 response
with a shifted mesh. The response is at G=0, hence it couples
wfcs at the same k. The susceptibility depends a lot on k-points
sampling and if your system has a vanishing band gap, convergence
can be a nightmare.
By default the macroscopic shape is diagonal:
   nmr_macroscopic_shape(:,:) = 0.d0
   nmr_macroscopic_shape(1,1) = 2.d0 / 3.d0
   nmr_macroscopic_shape(2,2) = 2.d0 / 3.d0
   nmr_macroscopic_shape(3,3) = 2.d0 / 3.d0
You can change the component (demagnetizing field) in the input file.

Good luck for your calculations!

Best,
     Davide
