Technically, this is the hexagonal #%% CdI2 structure, space group #164, P-3 m 1. For this case, neglect #%% of this contribution yields approximately a 2% error in the largest #%% interatomic force constants. Its effect on many force constants #%% for this system cancels because of symmetry. This calculation #%% is not particularly well converged, especially with respect #%% to k sample. A well-converged version is in excellent agreement #%% with interatomic force constants calculated by numerical #%% differentiation of ground-state forces. #%%
