Dear QE community,
Since born effective charge is a tensor, I just want to make it clear what the
row denotes and the column denotes in the ouput file of ph.x.
For example, my ph.x result is shown below.
Effective charges (d Force / dE) in cartesian axis
atom 1 N
Ex ( -0.89690 0.08772 0.32344 )
Ey ( -0.04263 -0.81235 0.02970 )
Ez ( 0.16703 -0.04157 -0.71689 )
As I understand from the output, the row should denote the axis direction of
atom displacement, and each column should denote the change of force along a
given axis direction. Therefore, if Zxy should equal -0.04263. Is this true?
Best Regards,
Yin
