In these cases the supplementary asr are canceled during the orthonormalization procedure (see below). Finally, in all cases except @b 'no' a simple correction on the effective charges is performed (same as in the previous implementation). } } } var axis -type INTEGER { info { indicates the rotation axis for a 1D system (1=Ox, 2=Oy, 3=Oz) } default { 3 } } var lperm -type LOGICAL { info { if .true. then calculate Gamma-point mode contributions to dielectric permittivity tensor } default { .false. } } var lplasma -type LOGICAL { info { if .true. then calculate Gamma-point mode effective plasma frequencies, automatically triggers @ref lperm = .true. } default { .false. } } var filout -type CHARACTER { info { output file containing phonon frequencies and normalized phonon displacements (i.e. eigenvectors divided by the square root of the mass and then normalized; they are not orthogonal) } default { 'dynmat.out' } } var fileig -type CHARACTER { info { output file containing phonon frequencies and eigenvectors of the dynamical matrix (they are orthogonal) } default { ' ' } } var filmol -type CHARACTER { info { as above, in a format suitable for molden } default { 'dynmat.mold' } } var filxsf -type CHARACTER { info { as above, in axsf format suitable for xcrysden } default { 'dynmat.axsf' } } } }
