A question of Born effective charge

Post by yongchao.jia » Thu Oct 16, 2014 3:36 pm

Dear abinit users,
I just try to calculate the phonon band structure of CaO, using the PAW psp.
There are two question make me confused:
1. why there is a problem about the Born effective charge, when we use the PAW psp?
2. why the above problem only exists at the Gamma point?

I have calculate the correct born effective charge through the finite difference method. However, how I should use the correct value to modify the phonon band structure obtianed?

Best Wishes,
Yongchao Jia
