Detraux #%% description = #%% Analyze a DDB for ZrO2, containing only the dynamical #%% matrices at Gamma, X and L. #%% Generate the IFC using a rough sampling, based on Gamma and X #%% only, then produces the phonon band structure along Gamma-X, #%% as well as in L. #%% The degeneracies can be compared with those of #%% Detraux et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 3297 (1998). #%% The errors produced with this sampling are still large, as can be #%% judged from the comparison at L. The frequencies (in cm-1) from the DDB are #%% 128.8 (2-deg), 271.4, 413.7 (2-deg), 518.2, 521.8 (2-deg), 598.1 ; #%% while from the IFCs, using the interpolation, they are #%% 152.5 (2-deg), 290.8, 429.6 (2-deg), 434.6 (2-deg), 551.9, 576.0 . #%% The same DDB allows to generate a slightly better sampling, by using #%% nqshft=2 and two shifts (0.0 0.0 0.0) and (0.5 0.5 0.5). #%% In this case, the L point is used for the interpolation. The comparison #%% can be done at the level of the mid-point between Gamma and X : #%% from the GX grid, one gets #%% 107.0 (2-deg), 260.3, 295.5 (2-deg), 394.3, 577.0 (2-deg), 682.1 ; #%% from the GXL grid, one gets #%% 106.3 (2-deg), 262.6, 302.7 (2-deg), 403.8, 582.5 (2-deg), 684.2 ; #%% while directly from the ABINIT code, one gets #%% 106.3 (2-deg), 270.0, 277.9 (2-deg), 443.2, 581.6 (2-deg), 681.6 . #%% This is not yet satisfactory. #%% More points are needed for better results, the next interesting grid #%% being obtained by changing ngqpt from 2 2 2 to 4 4 4 in the t22.in file. #%% Two additional dynamical matrices are then needed. #%% topics = PhononBands #%%
