[Pw_forum] Regarding LA-TA modes

[Kondaiah Samudrala]

Dear all,

I am very much interested in knowing  LA-TA modes and grunessian parameter
calculations using pwscf.

Is it possible to get non zero acoustic modes at Gamma point. Because, If I
am applying asr rule at gamma point, the acoustic modes are zero in my
case. How can we define LA-TA modes ???

Is degenerative modes (Out of First three modes)  are transverse modes???

How to do grunessinn parameter calculations for entire phonon spectrum  in
PWscf???

Hope positive reply..Thanks in advance

with regards
