Phonon Dispersion Calculation for NbO2 #259
|
Dear Professor Tadano, I am currently calculating the phonon dispersion of NbO2 using the harmonic approximation but have encountered significant imaginary frequencies in my results, indicating a clear issue with the calculation. To troubleshoot this, I have tried two approaches: Primitive cell: Generated a 384-atom supercell Conventional cell: Generated a 192-atom supercell Unfortunately, both methods still produce problematic results. After reviewing previous discussions, I understand that version 1.5.0 cannot handle conventional cells properly. However, even with the primitive cell, the calculation remains incorrect, and I am unsure how to proceed. Could you kindly provide any suggestions or guidance on resolving this issue? Your insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
