Dear Takahiro Nakae,

I guess I should give an answer, given that I produced the spectrum in the article referred in your mail and the exercises to that course.

The methods for calculating the Raman intensity of the different phonons is not consistent between the article and the exercises: In the former we used a separate program in which we could choose the wave vectors of the incoming and scattered light, whereas in the latter a spherical average (to my knowledge) is performed.

We are working on publishing the code which would enable doing more sophisticated analysis of the Raman spectra.

    Greetings,

       apsi

Dear All,

I am trying to calculate Raman spectra of graphene nanoribbon. At the
first step, I am trying to reproduce the result reported in Nature 2010,
466, 470-473 by J Cai et al.(DOI:10.1038/nature09211).

I found a tutorial documents and examples of MASTANI2014 on the internet .
http://www.iiserpune.ac.in/~smr2626/talks-presentations.html
At the 11th July session, Raman-IR example files are provided.

On this calculation, Raman signal intensity were not consistent as
reported results. Especially, a vibration mode at 1440 cm-1 shift gave a
strong intensity.

The example calculated using K points as below.
K_POINTS AUTOMATIC
 02 1 1 0 0 0

I also tried K points increased as below.
K_POINTS AUTOMATIC
 10 4 4 0 0 0
(Calculated on 54 points)

However, The vibration mode of 1440 cm-1 shift is still too strong.

I use Quantum Espresso (5.1.1 build on Linux). I already modify the
source code of phq_setup.f90 in PHonon to calculate Raman using PBE-GGA
pseudopotential.

I cite input files of MASTANI-2014 examples, and teach me how to improve
Raman intensity as same as reported simulation.

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
