INCAR

general:
 System = cd-C
 PREC = Accurate
 ALGO = FAST
 ISMEAR = 0 
 SIGMA = 0.1;
 IBRION = 6
 PHON_LMC = .TRUE.
 PHON_NSTRUCT = 0
 PHON_NTLIST = 1
 PHON_TLIST = 0.0
  • The tags with "PHON_" control the electron phonon options. PHON_LMC enables electron phonon calculations using Monte Carlo sampling. By selecting PHON_NSTRUCT=0 a one-shot configuration is obtained. The PHON_NTLIST selects the number of temperatures for which the structure with the one shot calculation is obtained. This requires also the list of temperatures PHON_TLIST which have exact that number of elements.
  • IBRION=6 is selected to obtain the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the dynamical matrix at the Gamma point.

Calculation

This example will use a one-shot method, where only a single structure comprising the electron-phonon interactions is required for a given temperature.

The calculation consists of the following steps:

  1. Obtain new "distorted" POSCAR file which contains the electron-phonon interactions. At zero temperature that file is called POSCAR.T=0..
