Dear Mayank, My opinion is that your problem comes from a symetry problem with the FFT grid: the FFT grid your system has chosen may not be compatible with the symetry of your crystal (which is apparently very symetric). If this is the case, yous hould have warnings about symetry operations not taken into account in the preamble of your scf output.
The solution is to define by hand your fft grid using the nr1, nr2, nr3 parameters (choose them larger than those chosen by the program but with different dividers so as to comply with the symetry of your system). Another solution usually proposed is to increase the ecut_rho, but I prefer the first one. Hope this helps, Merlin mayank gupta a ?crit : > Dear PWSCF User's, > > I am doing phonon calculation of a material having 40 atoms in the > unit cell and BCC structure.
