<p>Dear pwscf users:<br> I am trying to use the v3.2.3 to study Raman properties. In the "INPUT_PH", <br>it mentions literature "M. Lazzeri and F. Mauri, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 036401 (2003)".<br>In this paper, Lazzeri computed the raman intensities form the second order derivative<br>
of the electronic density matrix with respect to a uniform electric field. Moreover, <br>another paper "J. Sun and et. al. , Phys. Rev. B 74, 193101" discussed the raman spectrum <br>via Lazzeri's method. I think this method, which has been implented int pwscf code, is <br>
different from the linear response method (1.S. Baroni et al. Rev. Mod. Phys. 73, 515 (2001),<br>2.P. Umari and et. al. Phys. Rev. B 63, 094305), which get the raman intensities by <br>polarizability tensors.<br> However, I cannot understant the results of example15(AlAs)which study the raman tensor of AlAs.<br>
The results of Raman tensor are showed as below:<br>=======================================================================================================<br> Raman tensor (A^2)</p>
<p> atom # 1 pol. 1<br> -0.201910099100E-14 -0.540966680608E-15 -0.190481225566E-15<br> -0.145527656333E-14 -0.739067155197E-15 -0.517081932644E+01<br> -0.556205178654E-15 -0.517081932644E+01 0.906690633696E-15<br>
atom # 1 pol. 2<br> ...<br> atom # 1 pol. 3<br> ...<br> atom # 2 pol. 1<br> ...<br> atom # 2 pol. 2<br> ...<br> atom # 2 pol. 3<br> ...<br>=======================================================================================================<br>
My questions: what does A^2 mean? what does pol. * mean?</p>
<p>I have another question about the alas.dynG. <br>1.Do omega 1, 2, 3 stand for the acoustic mode?<br>2.How can I get the Raman intensities?(the last but not the least!)<br> **************************************************************************<br>
