Phonon dispersion using fix-phonon

Dear Lammps users and devs

I’m trying to use the “fix-phonon” to calculate the phonon dispersion for MoS2 Monolayer using a potential i’ve been developing using machine learning and DFT data. I was able to reproduce the phonon dispersion using lammps as a tool in a package called Alamode ( T. Tadano, Y. Gohda, and S. Tsuneyuki, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 26 , 225402 (2014)) without problems at gamma

I’m having problems next gamma. the phonon dispersion explodes to negative values and positive values of order of >10^3 thz. If i include the option “-r” at “./phana” even if knowing I should not use it because I’m not including charges on my systems the problem of exploding values at gamma dissapear but I end up with highly unnacurate values for frequencies at Gamma.

I’m making simulations using 50x50x1 cell (7500 atoms total) and for timestep = 1 fs for 5000000 steps.

Here’s the input im using:

thanks in advance for the help

For questions about the fix phonon and the phana tool, you better contact the developer of that functionality directly, e.g. at GitHub - lingtikong/phana

Does he also have a account here to?

I don’t know, and how should I. There are way over 10,000 users registered here. Many don’t configure their user profile. The best way to find out is to contact him directly.
