VASPKIT and SeeK-path recommend different paths. Which one to choose?
I want to get the phonon density of states for a monolayer MoS2. For this, I need phonon dispersion curves, and to choose a path where to compute phonons.
VASPKIT recommends Γ-M-K-Γ
SeeK-path ...

Can we create a phonon with a specific wavenumber that persists in the system for a long time? [closed]
The phonon number is not a conserved quantity, they add up as dictated by the dispersion relation until the Planck distribution is reached. However, I would need the k=PI/a phonons not to disappear ...

What do negative phonon frequencies signify?
Negative frequencies "in general" mean the direction of displacement is reverse to that in positive frequencies.
Does it mean two frequencies with opposite signs but the same magnitude give ...
