PHONON_KPOINT_LIST (.cell)

Keyword type

Block

Description

This data block contains a list of k-points at which the Brillouin zone will be sampled during phonon calculations, along with the associated weights. It has the same format as KPOINTS_LIST.

The k-point weight in this data block is optional. If no weights are specified, the weights for each k-point are assumed to be equal.
