[Pw_forum] Phonon branch enumeration

[Jeffrey Mullen]

Emine,

I am interested in extracting the matrix elements of the interaction
<k+q| dV | k> from elphon.f90, which is simple enough to do, however,
the question has come up that we do not know from this portion of the
code what the order of the modes are in this array in a general way. For
instance, I cannot see (from the code) if omega(2-3) is Representation 1
or Representation 4.


Cheers
Jeff
