<div>Dear All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thank you for the help. I tried to find an example how to calculate the vibrational modes of the adsorbate</div>
<div>using the ph.x code but I didn't. Does anyone give me a link to such calculations?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>

<p>Hi Tom,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This can be done using the phonon code. Take a look at the documentation for the ph.x code (<a href="https://www.quantum-espresso.org/Doc/INPUT_PH.html#idm292" target="_blank">https://www.quantum-espresso.org/Doc/INPUT_PH.html#idm292</a>). This will explain not only how to compute phonons / vibrational modes, but also how to restrict the calculation to deal only with adsorbates on surfaces. From there, you can follow one of the numerous tutorials available online for how to use the phonon code and its associated tools to diagonalize the dynamical matrix to obtain the vibrational modes of the adsorbate. Alternatively, you can use a finite displacement method. For this you could write a simple code yourself in python or use an existing tool such as phonopy (<a href="https://atztogo.github.io/phonopy/reference.html" target="_blank">https://atztogo.github.io/phonopy/reference.html</a>).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
