ABACUS & phonopy calculation
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
How to run
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
A procedure of ABACUS-phonopy calculation is as follows:
|
|
|
|
1) To obtain supercells with displacements, run phonopy::
|
|
|
|
% phonopy -d --dim="2 2 2" --abacus
|
|
|
|
In this example, 2x2x2 supercells are created. ``STRU.in`` and
|
|
``STRU-{number}`` give the perfect supercell and supercells
|
|
with displacements, respectively. ``phonopy_disp.yaml`` is also created.
|
|
This file contains information on displacements. Perhaps the supercell files are
|
|
stored in ``disp-{number}`` directories, then ABACUS calculations are
|
|
executed in these directories.
|
|
|
|
2) Calculate forces on atoms in the supercells with displacements. For each SCF calculation, you should specify ``stru_file`` with ``STRU-{number}`` and ``cal_force=1`` in INPUT in order to calculate force using ABACUS. Be careful not to relax the structures
|
|
|
|
3) Then create ``FORCE_SETS`` file using ABACUS inteface::
|
|
|
|
% phonopy -f ./disp-001//OUT*/running*.log ./disp-002//OUT*/running*.log ...
|
|
|
|
Two examples with different settings of basis sets are found in ``example/Al-ABACUS``.
