[Pw_forum] phonon elph espresso 3.2

[Andrea Floris]

Dear Paolo and Malgorzata, thank you for your help.

Summarizing:

With ldisp=.true. (automatic q grid)
if one does the sequence of calculation
1) pw.x scf (with 'la2F=.true.')  2) pw.x scf (with la2F=.false.)  (at
k-mesh good enough for phonons, as in example07)  3) ph.x for phonon and
elph, then I don't get errors (with a sensible choice of grids:)

With ldisp=.false. (q by hand) :
if one does the sequence of calculation
1) pw.x scf (with 'la2F=.true.')  2) pw.x phonon (to diagonalize in ek
e(k+q) 3) ph.x phonon and elph, then I don't get errors.

With ldisp=.false. (q by hand) :
if one does the sequence of calculation
1) pw.x scf (with 'la2F=.true.')  2) pw.x scf (with la2F=.false.)  (at
k-mesh good enough for phonons, as in example07)  3) ph.x for phonon and
elph, then I get the error
     from phq_init : error #         1
      wrong order of k points

Then there is the example that you reported below (i.e. with
'lnscf=.true.'),
that seems to  produce the same error.

Moreover: in my previous mail I said wrongly that the interpolation of the
elph
matrix elements was done in the subroutine lint. It is actually done in
PH/clinear.f90. Sorry for this.

Relative to PH/clinear.f90, I have a question:
can you confirm that
noint(1) noint(2) noint(3)...noint(nkfit) are the interpolated matrix
elements associated
respectively to the k point in crystal coordinates in this order: 000,
001, 002....010
011...100 101....nk1fit-nk2fit-nk3fit ?

ciao, grazie
Andrea
