H2O vibration

• INCAR

SYSTEM = H2O vibration
ISMEAR = 0    # Gaussian smearing
IBRION = 6    # finite differences with symmetry
NFREE = 2     # central differences (default)
POTIM = 0.015 # default as well
EDIFF = 1E-6 
NSW = 1       # ionic steps > 0

• KPOINTS

Gamma-point only
 1        ! one k-point
rec       ! in units of the reciprocal lattice vector
 0 0 0 1  ! 3 coordinates and weight

How many zero frequency modes are observed and why. Also try to use the linear response code (IBRION=8)
