Si phonon dispersions
CRYSTAL output file is crystal.o. This is the default file name
for the CRYSTAL interface, so, the -c crystal.o parameter is not needed
1) Create displaced supercells:
phonopy --crystal --dim="4 4 4" -d
Complete CRYSTAL inputs can be prepared manually
or with the help of a template (see TEMPLATE)
2) Run the supercell input with CRYSTAL
Here supercell-001.o has been pre-calculated with CRYSTAL17 at the
DFT-PBE0/SVP level of theory.
3) Collect forces:
phonopy --crystal -f supercell-*o
4) Calculate phonon dispersion data into band.yaml and save band.pdf:
phonopy --crystal --dim="4 4 4" -p -s band.conf
Plot the phonon dispersion in cm^{-1} units:
(factor = CrystalToTHz * THzToCm = 15.633302 * 33.356410)
phonopy --crystal --dim="4 4 4" -p -s --factor=521.47083 band.conf
Create a formatted plot (here band.yaml is in cm^{-1) units):
phonopy-bandplot --fmin=0 --line --ylabel="Frequency (cm\$^{-1}\$)" --band-labels="`grep BAND_LABELS band.conf | cut -d= -f2-`" -o dispersion.pdf
