[Pw_forum] Is it possible to calculate the IR spectra using finite displacement method using QE?

[Nicola Marzari]

While phonopy is a very useful piece of software, you shouldn't use it
with QE, since you can use the linear-response implementation for phonons
and effective charges (and then IR spectra, etc...).
