Dear Mansoureh Pashangpour:
Could you tell us what is your system? I have encountered your problem ago
when I calculating phonon dispersions of graphene and graphite. And I finally
solve it with painfull testings. Besides k points grid, maybe there are some
other parameters you should pay attention to:
ecutwfc;
ecutrho: maybe above ten times of ecutwfc;
conv_thr: 1d*-12 maybe good enouph for pw.x;
tr2_ph: in some cases, especially surface and layered systems, even
1d*-18 may be necessary;
FFT grid: you can try to increase nr1 nr2 nr3 to see what will happen;
ZAR: you can take 'simple' or 'crystal' in the input file of q2r.x and
matdyn.x.;
Beside these personal comments, I would like to thank prof. Dal Corsov for
his brief guide for me on these problems in Shanghai China in July!
