This is the example of silicon calculation. The supercell is 2x2x2 of the
conventional unit cell. The VASP calculation was made for force calculations
with 300 eV, 2x2x2 off-Gamma-centre k-point sampling mesh for the supercell, and
PBE. Silicon crystal is F-centre, so there is the transformation matrix from the
conventional unit cell to the primitive cell.
`phono3py_disp.yaml` is generated by
```
% phono3py -d --dim 2 2 2 -c POSCAR-unitcell --pa auto
```
To create `fc3.hdf5` and `fc2.hdf5`,
```
% phono3py-load
```
Using 11x11x11 sampling mesh, lattice thermal conductivity is calculated by
```
% phono3py-load --mesh 11 11 11 --fc3 --fc2 --br
```
`kappa-m111111.hdf5` is written as the result. The lattice thermal conductivity
is calculated as 119.5 W/m-K at 300 K. This becomes, with 19x19x19 sampling
mesh, 130.1 W/m-K.
Accumulated lattice thermal conductivity is calculated using `phono3py-kaccum`
script.
```
% phono3py-kaccum kappa-m111111.hdf5 |tee kaccum.dat
```
The file `vasprun_xmls.tar.lzma` in this example contains `vasprun.xml`s that
are used to generate `FORCES_FC3`. To test the `FORCES_FC3` generation, after
decompressing this file, the following command is executed at current directory:
```
% phono3py --cf3 vasprun_xmls/disp-{00001..00111}/vasprun.xml
```
