Hi Stefano,

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Would you happen to have 
an input file that works with lrpa=.true. for the calculation of the 
macroscopic dielectric constant?

Best,

Vahid

because somewhere in phq_readin
   trans = trans .OR. ldisp
lrpa is only valid for the calculation of the macroscopic dielectric
constant, not for the vibrational parts.

Dear QE Users,

After a self consistent calculation, I used the following input to the ph.x 
code (qe-6.1) to calculate the dielectric constant at the RPA level using the 
lrpa tag.

SnSe
&inputph
  tr2_ph   =  1.0d-16
  prefix   = 'SnSe'
  amass(1) = 118.71
  amass(2) = 78.96
  ldisp = .true.
  epsil=.true.
  trans = .false.
  lrpa = .true.
  qplot = .true.
  outdir   = './'
  alpha_mix(1)=0.3
  fildyn   = 'SnSe.dyn'
  fildvscf = 'dvscf'

I get the following error:

 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

     task #         6      from phq_readin : error #         1
     only dielectric constant with lrpa or lnoloc
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I checked the phq_redin.f90 code and the error arises from the following line:

  IF (trans.AND.(lrpa.OR.lnoloc)) CALL errore('phq_readin', &
                    'only dielectric constant with lrpa or lnoloc',1)

Since I have set trans=.false., why am I getting this error? There must be 
something wrong with the input but no such error was reported to the Forum.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Vahid
