Dear Yin, You already got great suggestions. I would like to add one more option to calculate IR from ab initio MD. You could do scf calculation on each configuration obtained via MD to calculate Maximally Localized Wannier Functions (MLWF). From MLWF you could calculate the dipole moment of th

Dear Pascal If I remember well, you can obtain the cell dipole trajectory by adding assume_isolated='mp' to your cp.x molecular dynamics input of a system contained in a cubic cell (mp is defined for cubic cells only). But the system should be really "isolated" (e.g., a molecule with its c

Dear Yin, you need to calculate at every time step the total dipole in the unit cell, and then do the fourier transform of the autocorrelation - see e.g. here: http://journals.aps.org/prl/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevLett.81.1235 or many other papers published on the topic. Note that if you do Car-Parrin

Dear Quantum Espresso developers, I want to obtain IR spectra of crystals at room temperature. Considering the temperature effect, I decided to use CPMD. I wonder whether it is possible to get IR spectra from CPMD trajectory in Quantum Espresso? What's more, can I involve vdw-correction in CPM
