Warning when running ZG Calculations

#1 Post by samson_baughman » Thu Jan 15, 2026 2:42 pm

Getting a warning that PHON_NTLIST is not being read. I still get the desired POSCARs, but I"m worried that they may not be accurate because of this warning. I've attached photos of the warning and my INCAR. I've reran this multiple times all with the same results.

Hello and welcome to the VASP forum. Thank you for the report!

First of all, as far as I can tell, you are doing everything correctly. This tag, PHON_NTLIST, has been removed in the newest VASP versions. It is automatically inferred from the number of temperatures in the list of PHON_TLIST. We do not currently make this clear on our wiki and we are sorry for the confusion. I will find out in which version exactly this change happened and will update the wiki accordingly.

Let me know if I was able to address your concerns.

Hi!

I believe it does. I am using 6.5.0 for this, if that is in anyway helpful.
