Re: [QE-users] Interpolation for 2D phonons results in one imaginary branch near Gamma

Thanks Vahid! This is actually a nice hint. I didn't relax the lattice with QE since I got the relaxed structure from someone else (collaboration) and minor differences between codes had - in my experience (3D solids) - never such a big influence on the phonons modes. But I will have a look at

Hi Thomas, This may not be directly related to your question and you may have already tried it but I found that for 2D materials, if in the vc-relax step, I ensure that the in-plane stresses are almost or exactly zero, I can make the flexural mode energies entirely positive along the various

Did anyone try recently the 2D cutoff technique for phonons? Is there maybe an error in my input? Regards Thomas On 7/7/21 11:37 AM, Stefano Baroni wrote: Oh, certo: scusa, dimenticavo. S. -- Stefano Baroni, Trieste -- swift message written and sent on the go Il giorno 7 lug 2021, alle
