[Pw_forum] Regarding LA_TA modes

Dear all,

I'm wondering if anybody knows how to identified LA-TA modes along
high symmetry directions. I have 8 atoms system , which gives 24 modes
at Gamma point. On the other hand, at X-direction it shows 12
modes(each mode is degenerate). So how can I identified LA and TA
modes. I am sure that all transverse modes are degenerate.. That means
no LA mode along this direction???? Below, I copy the first 4 modes
along X-Direction

I am very happy to know the  Gruneisen parameter spectrum  along High
symmetry directions by QE. I haven't seen any example file or document
about above mentioned
quantities.

Hope Pssitive reply from experts
