Dear Professor Paulo and Fransesco,
thanks for your help and suggestions ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Paolo Giannozzi <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2016 12:41 PM To: PWSCF Forum Subject: Re: [Pw_forum] Negative freuqencies for extrapolating points I am aware of other cases in which acoustic phonon frequencies close to q=0 behave in a funny way. It happens in very small regions and resists to standard attempts (increasing convergence etc.) to get rid of it. No explanation and no fix available for now.

All frequencies were positive except for a few "extrapolated" points very close to the Gamma point which were negative in the range of -1.45 cm^-1. Due to this the dispersion curve near the Gamma point looked a bit funny (but looks pretty good elsewhere). I tried the calculations with 2 different phonon grids. Any reason why this is happening? Do i have to lower tr2_ph more (it is already 10^(-19)!) Any help would be appreciated.
