Best practice(s) for q-points convergence in phonon density of states calculations
The answer can be a complete description of all the things we must be attentive to while converging q-points.
A peculiar thing that I feel contradicted about: Generally, we don't take an equal # of k-...

Odd/even q-point mesh in harmonic phonon density of states (DoS) calculations [closed]
Total DoS for two different q-point grids, $100\times100\times100$ and $101\times101\times101$, are graphed above. The DoS for $63\times63\times63$, $65\times65\times65$, $71\times71\times71$, $72\...
