Dear Mohaddeseh,
To perform linear response calculations (phonons, calculation of Hubbard parameters, etc.) for magnetic insulators, I use the procedure described in q-e/HP/examples/example02/README. If you have a gapped system, you should not use smearing, because there can be numerical issues (due to the division by zero, because the DOS at the Fermi level can be very small using small smearing for insulators, see Eq. (79) in Rev. Mod. Phys. 73, 515 (2001)).

My structure is Mott hubbard and has a band gap of about 2 eV. It is also antiferromagnetic in its ground state. I can obtain antiferromagnetic state and the desired band gap with hubbard parameters by both ways: occupations: smearing occupations: fixed A) I am wondering whether these occupations can have effect on the phonon frequencies? B) When is it preferable to use occupation fixed in our calculations? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
