### Generating Displacements
All of the Phonopy calculations generally require a [POSCAR][1] with well relaxed forces in order for the resulting values to carry any physical meaning.

# Running the Jobs
### Running the Jobs
Each unique displacement is named `POSCAR-XXX`, in our case we have only one, which is named `POSCAR-001`. If you are calculating plus and minus displacements, the minus displacement immediately follows the plus displacement.
Each unique displacement should then be moved to a separate folder, with every displacement file renamed to POSCAR, and POTCAR, [KPOINTS][3] and [INCAR][4] should be added.

During the calculation, we need to move one of the atoms specified in POSCAR and calculate the forces (`ISIF = 0`, `ISMEAR` according to the type of the material at question).
After this, we can submit the VASP calculation using the `qsub` command.

### Calculating the DOS and Thermal Properties
Assuming we wrote all of our required parameters (such as the q-point mesh) to the mesh.conf file, we can then derive the phonon density of states (DOS)
