[Pw_forum] IR

[Somesh Kumar Bhattacharya]

Hi Shoutian Sun,

With CPMD one can calculate the IR spectra by taking the fourier transform
of the velocity autocorrelation function (VAF). For this, one has to run a
very long simulation ( time scale few picoseconds) and then calculate the
VAF.  You can read a bit about VAF from any standard statistical mechanics
book ( plenty of materials are available online). Also refer to the paper :
J. Phys. Chem. A * 111*, 12810 (2007) regarding the expression for the
fourier transform.

Regarding your problem of tempp changing  at every step, try using the nose
thermostat.

Regards,

Somesh
