<p class="p1">Dear all</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">I want to examine the lifetime of phonon at Gamma-point via the calculations of phonon-phonon interaction with use of d3.x. </p>
<p class="p1">Recently I encountered one problem rerating on the symmetry operation of the third-order anharmonic force tensor of Si.</p>
<p class="p1"> </p>
<p class="p1">------------------------</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">(1) I calculated the tensor at q=(0,0,1) (X-point) following the strategy shown in example 14, with PWSCF ver4.1. Then, I obtained the anharmonic tensor ( see please, "si.anh_X" attached with this mail), and I confirmed it is completely the same as the one seen in reference in example 14. </p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">(2) Next, I calculated the tensor at q=(0,1,0) which point is equivalent to X-point, and anharmonic force tensor at q=(0,0,1) is obtained by symmetry operation.</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">I expected that the tensor obtained in (1) SHOULD be equivalent to that in (2) after symmetry operation due to the equivalence in q-points. </p>
<p class="p1"> </p>
<p class="p1">However, contrary to the expectation, a different result is observed in the anharmonic tensor at q=(0,0,1) obtained by the symmetry operation ( from q(0,1,0) to q(0,0,1)), see please, "si. anh_X_2"); actually, some components are same but considerable difference are observed.</p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">I'd like to know what is wrong in my calculation/input-files/strategy on the computation. </p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">--------------------------</p>
<p class="p1">I am a really beginner for use of d3.x, and may be this problem comes from a lack of my attentiveness to the calculation.</p>
<p class="p1">I'm so sorry for disturbing your time, but If you could give me some helps, I really appreciate for your kindness. </p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">I attached some files; the input and output files that are in "files.tar.gz". </p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p2"><br></p>
<p class="p1">I'd like to say thank you very much, in advance. </p>
