Si phonon dispersions with TURBOMOLE
The crystal structure in TURBOMOLE format is defined by files "control" and "coord".
This is the default file name scheme for the TURBOMOLE interface and therefore
the parameter "-c control" is not needed
The Si crystal structure is defined with the conventional unit cell (eight atoms).
3x3x3 supercells of the conventional cell are used for the phonon dispersion calculations.
PRIMITIVE_AXES is defined in band.conf to create the phonon dispersions for the primitive cell.
1) Create displaced supercells:
phonopy --turbomole --dim="3 3 3" -d
The displaced supercells are created in subdirectories "supercell-NNN".
Complete TURBOMOLE inputs need to be prepared manually in the subdirectories.
Please pay special attention on the k-point mesh.
Use tight SCF convergence criteria such as $scfconv 10
The following settings in the $riper data group may help convergence:
pqmatdiag on
pqsingtol 1.0d-7
2) Run the supercell input with TURBOMOLE or use the pre-calculated data
in the directory "example-001" (TURBOMOLE 7.3, PBE/SVP):
cp example-001/* supercell-001
3) Collect forces:
phonopy --turbomole -f supercell-*
4) Calculate phonon dispersion data into band.yaml and create band.pdf in THz units:
phonopy --turbomole --dim="3 3 3" -p -s band.conf
Plot the phonon dispersion in cm^{-1} units:
(factor = TurbomoleToTHz * THzToCm = 154.10794 * 33.356410)
phonopy --turbomole --dim="3 3 3" -p -s --factor=5140.48763 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
