[QE-users] Wrong phonon dispersion (Au) along X-K direction

[Md. Jahid Hasan Sagor]

Hi,

I calculated phonon dispersion and compared it with other studies. However,
dispersion is matched with every k direction except X-K. Would you please
tell me how to solve the issue? Should I use a different pseudopotential? I
am sharing here the details calculation if you can help.
Here is my result. At K, the graph is not smooth at all. When I compared
with other studies, I found the mismatch along the X-K direction.

Here is my ph.in

Here is my q2r.in

And finally, this is matdyn.x

Thank you so much. I used plotband.x and gnuplot to plot the dispersion
curve.
