Hi Lorenzo,

Thanks for your kind response.

Is it enough to calculate the phonon linewidth and thermal conductivity just 
using the Gamma point?

Regards,

Min

Dear Min,
this won't work. It is not impossible to do, but I do not have the time to do
it. In general, saving the variation of the potential of charge density does
not work when using the grid parallelization.

On another not, if it is heavy for you to run the phonon calculation, you have
no chance to run the D3 one, as it takes much longer for the same grid,
approximately the size of the grid times longer.  (unless the grid is only
Gamma, in which case it is a few times faster)
