Dear QE developers,

I have questions related to the dvscf binaries that result from ph.x.

1. Is there any easy way to read these files to understand better what their structure is and what they consist of?

if you know the structure of variables containing real-space quantities in QE, and if you know the basis of irreps used to compute phonon modes, it is easy: a dvscf file contains \Delta V_{SCF}(r) (only the screening part: Hartree and exchange-correlation) for all irreps. If you don't ... well, it may take some time to figure out both

2. Are these files transferable to other systems (for example, when transferring from a machine with GNU compilers to a machine with Intel compilers)? Is there any option to transfer/read these files correctly regardless of the system?

Fortran binary files are in principle compiler-dependent and thus not transferable. In practice, for at least the two compilers you mention, they are.

Paolo


Best,

Sergei
