[Pw_forum] LO-TO splitting in dynmat.x

[Eyvaz Isaev]

Hi, 

You should specify  q-point like 


 q(1)=0.01, q(2)=0.0, q(3)=0.00

but not the Gamma-point.

Bests,
Eyvaz.

Subject: [Pw_forum] LO-TO splitting in dynmat.x

Dear users,
I want to get LO-TO splitting, using dynmat.x. Following is my input file 
(dynmat.in).

 &input
    fildyn='ZnO.dyn1',
    asr='crystal',  amass(1)=65.39, amass(2)=15.9994,
     q(1)=0.0, q(2)=0.0, q(3)=0.00,
     filout='dynmat.out',
     filxsf='dynmat.axsf',
 /

After running dynmat.x < dynmat.in 
command it gives the output something like that

     Reading Dynamical Matrix from file ZnO.dyn1
     ...Force constants read
     ...epsilon and Z* read
     Acoustic Sum Rule: || Z*(ASR) - Z*(orig)|| =    0.750479E-03
     Acoustic Sum Rule: ||dyn(ASR) - dyn(orig)||=    0.660223E-02
     A direction for q was not specified:TO-LO splitting will be absent

So plz tell me where to specify the direction in dynmat.in file, to get the 
LO-TO splitting.
