Dear Wei Li,

  from the header of the dynmat.f90 source code
!
!  This program
!  - reads a dynamical matrix file produced by the phonon code
!  - adds the nonanalytical part (if Z* and epsilon are read from file),
!    applies the chosen Acoustic Sum Rule (if q=0)
!  - diagonalise the dynamical matrix
!  - calculates IR and Raman cross sections (if Z* and Raman tensors
!    are read from file, respectively)
!  - writes the results to files, both for inspection and for plotting
!
!  Input data (namelist "input")
!
!  fildyn  character input file containing the dynamical matrix
!                    (default: fildyn='matdyn')
!  q(3)      real    calculate LO modes (add nonanalytic terms) along
!                    the direction q (cartesian axis, default: q=(0,0,0) )

the value of the vector q (when different from zero) is interpreted as the direction of propagation of the phonons.

​Hi Friends,

I plan to calculate the infrared spectrum of anatase TiO2 bulk using pw.x (scf), ph.x calculates phonon frequencies and effective charge etc.. Then the dynmat.x is used to calculate LO-TO splitting.

The ph.x calculation is performed at single q, i.e., q=0.0,0.0,0.0 in ph.in <http://ph.in> file

​
The question is how to define the
​​
propagation direction of LO-TO splitting, q(i), i=1,2,3, in the dynmat.in <http://dynmat.in> file?

For instance, how to set q(1),q(2),q(3)?​
