<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Dear Prof. Eyvaz,<br> Thanks for that information. I have obtain the necessary files but i don't understand how to use the PlotPhon. The PlotPhon is not part of the executable in the /bin. I tried to used plotband.x but i was asked to input the value of Efermi, which i have not calculated in my calculation. I will be very happy if you can enlightened me more on this.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Ibrahim <br><br>Adetunji Bamidele Ibrahim<br>

To get it you have to calculate dynamical matrices for a given number of q-points defined via (nq1 x nq2 x nq3) mesh, then perform FFT to get F(R) - the
*.fc file (using q2r.x).
