[Pw_forum] Query on "e-ph interaction coefficients

[Ajit Vallabhaneni]

Dear users,

                 I had recently started working on Quantum espresso. I was doing the tutorials on e-ph interaction coeff's tutorial on aluminium. I ran the simulation at point X. The following is a part of the output in which i want to know what few things represent. 

- what does the two irreducible representations mean ? It shows that it is related to atomic displacements, but i could not see what does the terms "Representation  1 1 modes -A_2u X_4' M_4' To be done " means and what does the term 1 modes  and 2 modes stand for ?


Thanks
Ajit
