Phonon Calculations for Bilayer 2D systems
I am facing problems in calculating the phonon band structure for bilayer 2D systems. While the band structure mostly shows positive frequencies for the 1 layer system, going to 2 layers makes some ...

Can we do anything to reduce the number of displacements in a frozen phonon lattice dynamics study?
I realize that the more ordered the supercell is, the lower the number of displacements. Perhaps, we could say the same with respect to symmetry.
Is there anything that can be done to reduce the ...
