if the calculation is properly converged an imaginary frequency (printed as negative in the output) signals a structural instability for atoms moving according to the vibrational pattern.

To find the new structure look for a supercell for which the given q-vector would be folded in Gamma, slightly displace the atoms according to the unstable vibrational pattern and relax.

Hi
I've calculated the phonon distribution, But at a point other than the gama point is negative frequency !!
What is the reason? and What to do?
thanks
