Dear all,<div><br></div><div>I am doing some phonon calculations for an 8 atom supercell at q=0. I have therefore got 24 irreducible representations.. These representations are all of A symmetry. </div><div><br></div><div>
(1) Is there a possibility to calculate the phonon frequencies for each representation on its own (as I am interested in checking the value of first frequency) or does the code calculate all 24 representations in one go ?</div>
