Dear Dr. Paolo, Just to check, these are the two results done on a same structure (ibrav 4) and level of convergence but with different pseudos..... One with PW91 and the other with PBE. PW91 seems to offer correct results on mode symmetry analysis. The optical frequency values are however close...
