[QE-users] Best Strategy for Raman Mode Calculation in Magnetic Insulators Using QE

Dear all,

I'm currently working on Raman spectra calculations for a magnetic insulating 
material. Specifically, I'm using norm-conserving pseudopotentials and 
nspin=2 to capture the magnetic ground state. However, when I tried to do the 
ph.x calculation with lraman=.true., it throws the following error.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
      Error in routine phq_readin (1):
      no elec. field with metals
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Can someone recommend the workflows or strategy for Raman calculations in 
magnetic insulators?
