Dear all,
As we know, the short-ranged IFCs are available by QE. The dynamical matrices are obtained by making inverse Fourier transformation of the short-ranged IFCs, and then add back the long-ranged dipole-dipole contribution in the reciprocal space. This paper(X. Gonze et al, PRB 50. 13035 (1994)) provides the formula of long-ranged force constants. I wonder that is it feasible to obtain the correct phonon spectrum from the full IFCs(short+long)? Of course, the long-ranged IFCs should be gotten in a much longer range(maybe 100*100*100). Any comments will be appreciated! -- Jian-qi Huang Magnetism and Magnetic Materials Division Institute of Metal Research Chinese Academy of Sciences 72 Wenhua Road, Shenyang 110016, China email:[email protected]
