We determine lattice vibrations in NdFeO3 crystal using first-principles calculations. We assign them to Raman- and infrared active modes according to the group theory. The direct method is used to obtain the Hellman-Feynman forces. The supercell approach with the finite displacement method is used to calculate phonon properties. Lattice vibrations, phonon density of states, dispersion curves, etc. are obtained by the Phonopy program within harmonic approximation. Finally, our results are compared with other calculations using interatomic force constants and with our Raman experimental data for pressures up to 110 kbar.
