There are several things I don't know about the phonon dispersion analysis<br> 1 How to discern <font size="-1"> longitudinal </font> and transverse mode ?<br> 2 In the process of dynamic matrix construction , for a particular mode how to displace atoms , <br>
I don't think I know the real meaning of "displacements along irreps of decomposed 3N-dimensional representation ",<br> 3 How to tell which mode does a dispersion curve belongs to ? <br> 4 If I want to see a particular mode , how should I choose the parameter of : nrapp<br>
5 if I want to see a particular atom or a subset of atoms displace, such as in p4/mmm SrCrO3 crystal ,fix Sr,Cr and let O displace ,how should I choose the parameter: <a name="nat_todo">nat_todo</a>, and so only part of the modes of this crystal are caculated , ,how to tell which mode are they belong to. <br>
