[Pw_forum] Reg: How to know the mode name and due to which atom it is happening?

[Filipe Camargo Dalmatti Alves Lima]

It is because you did not finish all the steps to analyse the data.

I got a similar problem before and I remember it is possible to obtain a
file that has as the vectors of the modes that can be viewed in the
xcrysden. Unfortunately I don't run simulations phonon simulations anymore,
I couldn't remember everything I did in the past.

I am pasting a manual section that explains it in details. (I also change
the color to red the point I think might solve your issue.)


4.2 Calculation of interatomic force constants in real space

First, dynamical matrices are calculated and saved for a suitable uniform
grid of *q*-vectors (only those in the Irreducible Brillouin Zone of the
crystal are needed). Although this can be done one *q*-vector at the time,
a simpler procedure is to specify variable ldisp=.true. and to set
variables nq1, nq2,nq3 to some suitable Monkhorst-Pack grid, that will be
automatically generated, centered at [image: $ \bf q$] = 0 .

Second, code q2r.x reads the dynamical matrices produced in the preceding
step and Fourier-transform them, writing a file of Interatomic Force
Constants in real space, up to a distance that depends on the size of the
grid of *q*-vectors. Input documentation in the header of PHonon/PH/q2r.f90.

*Program matdyn.x may be used to produce phonon modes and frequencies at
any q using the Interatomic Force Constants file as input. Input
documentation in the header of PHonon/PH/matdyn.f90.*

See Example 02 for a complete calculation of phonon dispersions in AlAs.

I hope it will solve your issue.


Best regards,
