<font size="2"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Dear Users,<br><br>In my previous e-mails I was asking about the eigenmodes that are both Raman and IR active. Now I think it is solved.<br><br>When I calculate eigenfrequencies at gamma point, I had noticed that all the modes are both Raman and IR active as follows<br>
</span></font><br><font size="2"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"> omega( 4 - 5) = 102.9 [cm-1] --> E L_3 I+R<br> omega( 6 - 7) = 156.9 [cm-1] --> E L_3 I+R<br>
omega( 8 - 8) = 402.0 [cm-1] --> A_1 L_1 I+R<br> omega( 9 - 10) = 719.8 [cm-1] --> E L_3 I+R<br> omega( 11 - 11) = 831.9 [cm-1] --> A_1 L_1 I+R<br>
omega( 12 - 12) = 1042.2 [cm-1] --> A_1 L_1 I+R<br><br><br>Therefore I have tried to improve my calculation by<br><br>-increasing number of kpoints in scf part<br>-increasing ecutwfc and ecutrho<br>
-using different pseudopotentials <br>-setting crystal structure as perfectly symmetric<br><br>but none of these improvements could give reasonable result about Raman activity.<br><br><br><br>However, problem was solved by taking the values of tr2_ph less than 1.0d-24. In this case we see that the modes becomes only Raman (or only IR) active as follows<br>
<br> omega( 4 - 5) = 104.8 [cm-1] --> E_g L_3 R <br> omega( 6 - 7) = 165.5 [cm-1] --> E_u L_3' I <br> omega( 8 - 8) = 398.5 [cm-1] --> A_1g L_1 R <br>
omega( 9 - 10) = 715.3 [cm-1] --> E_g L_3 R <br> omega( 11 - 11) = 827.6 [cm-1] --> A_2u L_2' I <br> omega( 12 - 12) = 1042.5 [cm-1] --> A_1g L_1 R<br>
