[Wien] Procedure or steps to calculate phonon

[Gavin Abo]

Step 1: Install the DFT program; learn how to do scf calculations with 
unit cells, then supercells (with WIEN2k) [1].

              - Phonon calculations use primitive cells [2].

Step 2: Research available phonon software (for WIEN2k) and decide which 
one you will use.

              - For example: PHONON by K. Parlinski [3], phonopy by A. 
Togo [4], PHON by D. Alfè [5], ThermoPhonon by N. Zarkevich [6], or any 
other one you find [7]

Step 3: Check the website for the phonon software

               - The procedure used for the phonon software is almost 
always on the specific phonon program's website in their documentation, 
tutorial, forum, or obtained by contacting the software author(s).  Or 
you might find procedures on other websites [8].
