PHON_SIGMA = [real] 

Default: PHON_SIGMA = 0.0005 eV

Description: Set the width of the Gaussian function in eV to compute the phonon density of states.


The density of states is computed between [math]\displaystyle{ [\omega_{\text{min}}-5\sigma,\omega_{\text{max}}+5\sigma] }[/math] with [math]\displaystyle{ \omega_{\text{min}} }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \omega_{\text{max}} }[/math] the lowest and highest phonon frequency and [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma }[/math] the broadening PHON_SIGMA. The number of energy points in this interval is set by PHON_NEDOS.

Mind: Only available as of VASP 6.4.0.
