Si lattice thermal conductivity
The default file name for the TURBOMOLE interface is "control",
so the -c control parameter is not needed
1) Create displaced supercells
2x2x2 conventional cell for 3rd order FC
3x3x3 conventional cell for 2nd order FC
phono3py --turbomole --dim="2 2 2" --dim-fc2="3 3 3" -d
Complete TURBOMOLE inputs can be prepared manually
2) Run the supercell inputs with TURBOMOLE
Here the supercells have been pre-calculated (outputs.tar.gz).
3) Collect forces:
phono3py --turbomole --cf3 supercell-*
phono3py --turbomole --cf2 supercell_fc2-*
Here the pre-calculated forces are available as FORCES_FC2 and FORCES_FC3
4) Create 2nd and 3rd order force constant files fc2.hdf5 and fc3.hdf5
phono3py --turbomole --dim="2 2 2" --dim-fc2="3 3 3" --sym-fc
5) Thermal conductivity calculation
--primitive-axis is used to get the results for the primitive 2-atom cell
phono3py --turbomole --primitive-axis="0 1/2 1/2 1/2 0 1/2 1/2 1/2 0" --fc3 --fc2 --dim="2 2 2" --dim-fc2="3 3 3" --mesh="20 20 20" --br
--br -> Relaxation time approximation
With 20x20x20 mesh, the lattice thermal conductivity at 300 K is 142 W m^-1 K^-1.
