Hello,
I succeed to obtain hamiltonian derivatives for structures which have unitcell composed of 2, 3 and 4 atoms. However, executation tasks do not progress even one step in unitcell containing 24 atoms. I heva used thight parameters to obtain phonon dispersion accurately and I achieved. I guess this problem can be originated from high accuracy of the parameters of the LCAO calculator because I use, analysis from file (optimized bulk structure) before the study objects. Unfortunately executation task stays on the same step 1/73 for hours and does not progress.
Do you have any suggestion to make progress?

Note that Hamiltonian Derivatives repeats your input cell to create a supercell, so it is expected that it will take a long time, especially with tight calculator settings.

Actually the main problem arises when qatk performing the Fermi level calculation. This first task, unfortunately is not over. You can find the log files at the attachmenet.

Can you suggest any recipe to overcome this problem?

Hello again,
Hamiltonian derivatives calculation has been completed by increasing atomic displacement from 0.01 Ang to 0.1 Ang. I know that Hamiltonian derivatives is calculated via finite difference method, so increasing the default value of atomic displacement gives the wrong result?
