<br></blockquote></div><div> Not always. In case of a homo-atomic system, the phonon eigen-vectots (v) <br> can directly be presented as atomic displacements (u) . However, for a hetero-<br> atomic system, it is not so straight-forward. We need some more algebra, because <br>
<br> u = v / sqrt (M) and SUM_i ( u_i . u_i . M_i ) = constant . <br><br> After that one can obtain correct atomic displacement from the eigen-vectors in case of a <br> hetero-atomic system. <br></div></div></blockquote>
