[QE-users] The phonon code with Raman and Hubbard U is not implemented

[Lorenzo Bastonero]

Dear Rijan,

Indeed the computation of Raman intensities is limited to LDA and Norm-conserving pseudopotentials.

There is an alternative way to compute both phonons (i.e. peak positions) and intensities (of each mode). 
You have to use finite differences for the phonons and finite electric fields for the intensities (if you want to know the theory, look at Umari and Pasquarello, Diamonds and Related Materials, 2005).

These routines are in QE, nevertheless you will need to do the steps by hand.

Currently, we have an automated workflow for doing such calculations in AiiDA, which is a workflow manager that automates complex workflows, for QE and other quantum codes.
The code will be published very soon, and we plan to send an email here once it is published.

So, at the moment, if you are interested, you can have a look at the demonstration of AiiDA + QE (https://aiida-qe-demo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), and then get your local implementation and install aiida (https://aiida.net) aiida-quantum espresso, which is the main block for the future package we will release.

HTH,
Lorenzo
