[QE-users] Raman spectra with GGA

Dear Karolina, Giuseppe et co,

   Indeed the "standard solution" has been to switch off the test and 
continue the calculation, yielding the intensities calculated with LDA 
(the frequencies are consistent with the ground-state calculation, GGA 
that is). Just last week I discussed with one Developer of the 
PHonon/Raman codes, who mentioned he had basically implemented also the 
third order derivatives, but they are not yet included in the 
distribution.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#$ grep -n -B 1 apsi /sw/source/intel/app/qe/qe-6.3/PHonon/PH/phq_setup.f90
123-     'third order derivatives not implemented with GGA', 0)
124:!apsi     'third order derivatives not implemented with GGA', 1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This tells the code to write out the warning but continue, whereas the 
original code stops with the same (error) message.

     Greetings from Sunny Paris,

        apsi
