Sure.

1) Plenty of literature. Start with the 1996 PRL of Mauri and
de Gironcoli, and all the papers that cite that. Have also a look
at the work done independently by Amy Liu, or the recent work from
Calandra/Lazzeri/Mauri on el-phon coupling.

2) sign your emails with your affiliation. it's common courtesy
on this forum, and not doing it raises the suspicion that you've
never looked at it before.

Thanks,
