Dear Rijan,

To warn you: these steps are involved, and you might need to code quite a bit and have to know the theory behind. Refer to the before mentioned paper.

If you are willing to do so, you can find the first steps in example 10 of PW (https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e/-/tree/develop/PW/examples/example10 <https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e/-/tree/develop/PW/examples/example10>).

Then you might try to have a look in the PHonon/FD module (https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e/-/tree/develop/PHonon/FD <https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e/-/tree/develop/PHonon/FD>).

All the best,
Lorenzo

>> I saw some plots of Raman spectra in the tutorial on DFT+U.  I was wondering if Raman spectra with DFT+U and/or DFT+U+V will be implemented anytime soon or if is there any simpler way to add in the code in order for it to have Raman with DFT+U?
