Dear Wilfredo,

Can you, please, send me your input file, so that I can try to build the BZ for 
your case.

You can get phonon DOS by means of matdyn.x  and  then use it (you shoud add a 
few additional info, see PHDOS.out file) in combination with F_QHA.x file. This 
will give you C_v, S and internal energy only. If you are interested in C_v at 
low temperature limit (~10K and lower) then you can use the analytical 
expression C_v=234*(T/Theta_D)^3 (in units of R)

Bests,
Eyvaz.

Dear all

I'm used the QHA package for Cv calculation in FCC structure and works 
very well. But now I try to use it for a Trigonal R (ibrav = 5) and it's 
not implemented yet in QHA, there is another way to calculate that.

Thanks all.
