Dear all,
I performed the calculation of Raman response on Li2TiS3.
The output of dynmat.x contains some *****.
So I'm not sure everything went correctly.
Could you please advise me on this point?
My ph.x input is:

Normal modes for LTS
 &inputph
  prefix='LTS'
  outdir='/workhpc/FCA/FCA_CRF_STRUT/sgroi/tmp/LTS'
  fildyn='dmat.lts'
  amass(1)=6.941
  amass(2)=47.867
  amass(3)=32.06
  tr2_ph=1.0d-14
  epsil=.false.
  lraman=.true.
  trans=.true.
  asr=.true.
 /
 0.0 0.0 0.0

The dynmat.x output is below.
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Mauro.
