Hi everyone, <br>
<br>
I am calculating the el-ph interactions of graphene with Pwscf 3.1.1. There are two questions here:<br>
<br>
1) First thing is about the symmetry obtained with pw.x. For the same
graphene system, when I use ibrav=0 with cell parameters, I got only 8
symmetry opertions( with inversion). There are six modes in the phonon
spectra. However, since the graphene system is hexagonal, I rotate the
coordinate system and use ibrav=4 to define the system, then I got 24
sym operations (with inversion). There are also six modes (with 2
degenerate modes) obtained. Why does the pw.x obtained different
symmetry for the same system? Can I adjust it manually? Here is my
input:<br>

2) The second question is about the output of the ph.x. I notice that the C.elph.out output following lines (2 2 1 1):<br>
<br>
There are 4 irreducible representations<br>
<br>
Representation 1 2 modes - To be done<br>
<br>
Representation 2 2 modes - To be done<br>
<br>
Representation 3 1 modes - To be done<br>
<br>
Representation 4 1 modes - To be done<br>
PHONON : 16.94s CPU time<br>
<br>
but at the end of the calculation, I got the omega as follows:<br>
<br>
omega( 1) = 16.131001 [THz] = 538.075842 [cm-1]<br>
omega( 2) = 16.131001 [THz] = 538.075842 [cm-1]<br>
omega( 3) = 30.116408 [THz] = 1004.581911 [cm-1]<br>
omega( 4) = 36.922309 [THz] = 1231.603836 [cm-1]<br>
omega( 5) = 36.922309 [THz] = 1231.603836 [cm-1]<br>
omega( 6) = 39.058597 [THz] = 1302.863199 [cm-1]<br>
<br>
Note that the order of the omega is different from the calculation
order (2 1 2 1). Then I am quite confused at this, why are the output
omega not the same order as the real calculation? Did the progam sort
them after completion? I am interested in some data for each
representation, so I need to get the omega for the corresponding
representation. <br>
<br>
Thanks for your help in advance!<br>
