the third derivatives that are computed in D3 are those of type d3E/du(q) du(-q) du(0) where at least one q-vector is 0. For the generalization to any set of displacements you need to wait for Lorenzo's contribution.

Thanks Stefano;

But, what do you mean by "some"? I am interested specifically in Fe at high pressure, so, can QE do 3rd derivative for that?

Here

http://www.quantum-espresso.org/wp-content/uploads/Doc/ph_user_guide.pdf

it says

"D3/d3.x: calculates anharmonic phonon lifetimes (third-order derivatives of the energy), using data produced by pw.x and ph.x (USPP and PAW not supported)."

So, it looks like it is NCPP.

Thanks;
Sabry

    the phonon code evaluates second order derivatives (dynamical
    matrices).
    this is available for NCPP, USPP and PAW

    the D3 code computes some of the third order derivatives.
    it is working for NCPP only as far as I remember.

    forth order derivatives are not computed.

    Hi;

    Was wondering if QE can compute 2nd, 3rd and 4th energy
    derivatives in the DFPT framework? If so, is available in PAW, or
    just PPs?

    Thanks;
    Sabry
