[Pw_forum] Phonon computation related problem

[Yue-Wen Fang]

Regarding to your computational source, such a big system with defects
could be hard to be computed by quantum espresso directly. Even if you can
compute it, the convergence test is also a problem.

Since you don't show the calculation details in your post, it's not easy
for other qe users to give comments on your calculations straightforward.

Three rough suggestions to your studied case:

1. Using quantum espresso with phonopy developed by Prof. Atsushi Togo.
(see https://atztogo.github.io/phonopy/pwscf.html)
2. Using VASP with phonopy (vasp could be more efficient and doable, but it
needs your further test)
3. Please take care of the convergence in your phonon calculations.
