Hi Mousumi, your zone-center acoustic frequency is not close enough to zero; this is an indication of bad, or badly converged, forces. (However you already get right sign and order of magnitude, that's not always automatically the case :-) Some considerations: 1. Your basis (SZ) is probably too

[SIESTA-L] diamond graphite phonon frequencies

2005-05-21 Thread Mousumi Upadhyay Kahaly
Hi everybody, I am trying to relax then calculate the phonon frequencies of different carbon systems using siesta fcbuild vibra. For diamond structure- at Gamma point: my results- phonon freq= 0.3, 2042 cm-1. (only Gamma point calculation) phonon freq= 0.50, 2163
