[交流] 【原创】如何得到力常数

It has always been my dream to get interatomic force constants from first-principle calculation. I try to get the IFC ever since I began to learn MS and PWscf. In MS, although I found how to get dynamic matrix, I failed. In the manual of PWscf, it claims to be able to get IFC in real space, which attracts me a lot. But almost three months past, no one can explain .fc file to me.

    Fortunatelly, I find some hints today. I do not comprehend it fully, so I first put it here.

       "The "search" facility of the mailing list is unfortunately rather crappy, but I was sure this had been already answered, first with 0 bits of information (but accurate nonetheless): http://www.democritos.it/piperma ... ptember/004900.html
and then with a finite amount of information:http://www.democritos.it/piperma ... ptember/010099.html Note that the grid of real-space lattice vectors is by construction,
periodic! it should be refolded so that it is centered around R=0."



        "the matrix elements of the IFC are written after these matrices (respectively the dielectric tensor and the effective charges).

http://www.democritos.it/piperma ... ptember/004900.html"



        " Well, let us to recall the notation for the force constants matrix, F_{\alpha,\beta}^{i,j}(R), where \alpha, \beta are atomic numbers, i,j are polarization vectors (x,y,z), and R is the distance between two atoms in units of lattice vectors. Below there are examples how these lines should be treated.
         4 4 4 - you used 4x4x4 q-points to generate FC
         1 3 1 2 - x, z, 1st atom, 2nd atom
         4 3 2 0.1234 - R=i*a+j*b+k*c, where i,j,k are integers from 1 to 4 (you used 4x4x4 mesh), a,b,c are lattice vectors. 0.1234 is F_{1,2}^{x,z}(R(4,3,2)).
         As QE uses atomic units, F should be in units of Ry/au^2, but not in eV/A^2.

      force constant, but for which atoms?
      m1 m2 m3  force_constant(m1,m2,m3,i,j,na,nb).where m1=1,...,n1, m2=1,...,n2, m3=1,...,n3, define a lattice vector R: R = (m1-1)*tau1 + (m2-1)*tau2 + (m3-1)*tau3. (if m1-1 > n1/2 and so on, refold m1-1 => m1-1-n1 and so on). So: force on atom na in direction i, when moving atom nb in direction j,in a cell that is R far away


      are the force constants divided by mass ?
      no

      How to find the distance in real space (or the number of nearest neighbours) up to which the FC are calculated?
      see above: approx. n1/2, n2/2, n3/2 unit cells in the three directions
