Calculation
How many zero frequency modes should be observed and why? Try to use the linear response code (IBRION=8 and EDIFF=1E-8) to obtain reference results. For finite differences, are the results sensitive to the step width POTIM. In this specific case, the drift in the forces is too large to obtain the zero frequency modes "exactly", and it is simplest to increase the cutoff ENCUT to 800 eV. The important and physically meaningful frequencies are, however, insensitive to the choice of the cutoff.
