Dear M. Abbasnejad:


Trying to calculate the born effective charges of my case, the obtained
> diagonalized principal values of effective charge tensor have imaginary
> part.

Is the  ?diagonalized principal values? is calculated by yourself , or it is
written in the output file?
If it is the first occasion, I think it is your fault.
Based on the definition of Born effective charge, it is a  "*real symmetric
matrix*?.
The eigen value of real symmetric matrix should not have imaginary part.
