Something wrong in decay.dynmat

Post by hanwooh »

Dear all,

Hello!

I tried to get electron-phonon coupling constant for metallic systems with inversion symmetry.

Before doing epw calculations, I checked that all MLWFs have small spreads within 3 A.

Although I obtained well localized hamiltonian and dipole in Wannier basis, dynamical matrix in Wannier basis shows odd behaviors as below.

I think that this wrong behavior of dynamical matrix may give rise to negative frequency and phonon linewidth in epw which doesn't occur in DFPT calculations with coarse k and q meshes.

Is there anyone who encounters same problem or knows how to solve this problem?

Best regards,
