GaN phonon (Phonons in Wurtzite structure )

Post by t.marinheiro » Tue May 21, 2019 1:11 pm

HI,
I am having a bit of difficulty analysing the data I obtain from a phonon calculation on Wurtzite GaN

. When I look at the output file of the full phonon calculation the phonon frequencies (for gamma=0 )

do not match the published values. When I look at the results with nonanalytic behaviour in different directions (i.e. {0 0 1} and {0 1 0}) I do get values which are similar to the published ones if I use frequencies from both {0 0 1} and {0 1 0} nonanalytic calculation. However when I run a anadbb calculation

I get something which looks nothing like what it should. What should I do when I am performing a phonon calculation on a wurtzite structure, with nonanalicity?

All the best,
Tiago

Dear Tiago,
You are using the HGH pseudopotentials, while there are much more recent pseudos that have been optimized through the pseudodojo project, I would advise to use these ones:
