Dear Prof. Baroni:
According to the linear response theory and 2n+1 theorem
(Rev.Mod.Phys.73,515),
it seems that PWSCF can not calculate 4-phonons interactions. But in effect,
the process of 4-phonons interactions is as important as 3-phonons
interactions.
Then my question is:
Is there any approach to calculate the anharmonicity of some vibration
modes including 4-phonons interactions ?
Thank you for your time to read my message!
Best Wishes!
Yours Sincerely
L.F.Huang
