<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Dear Users,<br><br></div>I am trying to perform phonon calculations for BaTiO3. After performing the the calculations at gamma point, with the help of 'ph.x' executable, I get following results for phonon frequencies,<br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Mode symmetry, C_4v (4mm) point group:<br><br> freq ( 1 - 2) = -190.6 [cm-1] --> E G_5 D_5 I+R<br> freq ( 3 - 3) = -45.6 [cm-1] --> A_1 G_1 D_1 I+R<br> freq ( 4 - 5) = 26.2 [cm-1] --> E G_5 D_5 I+R<br> freq ( 6 - 6) = 115.4 [cm-1] --> A_1 G_1 D_1 I+R<br> freq ( 7 - 8) = 146.5 [cm-1] --> E G_5 D_5 I+R<br> freq ( 9 - 9) = 245.7 [cm-1] --> B_1 G_3 D_2 R <br> freq ( 10 - 10) = 268.0 [cm-1] --> A_1 G_1 D_1 I+R<br> freq ( 11 - 12) = 277.1 [cm-1] --> E G_5 D_5 I+R<br> freq ( 13 - 14) = 457.1 [cm-1] --> E G_5 D_5 I+R<br> freq ( 15 - 15) = 496.7 [cm-1] --> A_1 G_1 D_1 I+R<br>---------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br></div>I could not set lraman=.true. as I was using ultra-soft pseudopotentials. <br><br></div>Following were the results for the phonon frequencies upon the application of asr=simple with 'dynmat.x' executable. <br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br> <br><div> IR activities are in (D/A)^2/amu units<br><br># mode [cm-1] [THz] IR<br> 1 -189.03 -5.6670 78.9556<br> 2 -189.03 -5.6670 78.9556<br> 3 0.00 0.0000 0.0000<br> 4 0.00 0.0000 0.0000<br> 5 0.00 0.0000 0.0000<br> 6 129.14 3.8716 8.7326<br> 7 140.75 4.2197 0.7690<br> 8 140.75 4.2197 0.7690<br> 9 260.86 7.8203 0.0292<br> 10 260.86 7.8203 0.0292<br> 11 263.08 7.8868 0.0000<br> 12 273.06 8.1862 42.5449<br> 13 456.98 13.6999 2.7989<br> 14 456.98 13.6999 2.7989<br> 15 502.29 15.0582 12.3293<br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br><div><br></div><div>These results are only for IR-modes. So my questions are as follows,<br><br>1. Does the "I+R" tag at the end of the output file given by ph.x calculations, specify that the modes are both IR as well as Raman active?<br><br>2. Which are the correct values of IR frequencies? Those given by ph.x calculations or by dynmat.x calculations?<br><br></div><div>Thanks in advance.<br><br></div><div>Best,<br></div><div>DS.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Deepashri Saraf<br></div><div>PhD Student<br></div><div>Department of Physics, SPPU<br></div><div>Pune (India)<br></div></div></div>
