Dear Experts,
Where can I get the data path.dat (filkf = 'path.dat') file in phonon directory?Do I need to produce it using any post processing script? Please let me know.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Anindya,

That file contains a path in the Brillouin zone (in crystal coordinates), there are many tools to produce that. As an option, you can copy the k path produced when you do a band structure nscf calculation with QE (use verbosity='high').

Best,
