Dear Barnali,

The symmetries stem from the self-consistent calculation, so the problem is there. Indeed it looks from the few coordinates in the input that you provided that they are not precisely - up to some 4-5 digits on the symmetric positions like 0.5; thus 'pw.x' does not consider these as symmetries and all the modes become labelled with the basic symmetry "A". Please try symmetrising the coordinates, checking already in the output of 'pw.x' that you have the symmetry requested.

    Greetings from Paris,

Dear Sir/Madam

I am trying to reproduce the Raman spectra of graphyne system reported by Zhang et al [J. Phys. Chem. C, 2016, 120 (19), pp 10605–10613]. In my calculated spectra, I have found the Raman peaks are located more or less on same frequency as observed in the paper of Zhang et al.  The position of the Raman peaks are given below-

  But the problem arises in the case of mode symmetry and irreducible representation calculation.  I am not able to generate same irreducible representation like Zhang has got. Of course, I have missed some technique or something wrong with my understanding.
 My calculated irreducible representations are presented below-

My questions are

1.      How can I generate the correct irreducible representation for graphyne? 
Please suggest me the correct path.

Here I have attached the input files (grapyne.scf.in and graphyne.phonon.in) 
for details information.

2.      I have calculated the Raman spectra of graphene with the same procedure 
and found exact irreducible representation. Why problem arises in the case of 
graphyne? Because graphene and
graphyne have same hexagonal symmetry.


I am waiting for any reply.  Any help will be thankfully acknowledged.

 

Thanking you.
