CASTEP IR and Raman Options dialog

The CASTEP IR and Raman Options dialog allows you to set additional parameters affecting a polarizability, IR, and Raman calculation.

Convergence tolerance: Specify the value, in Å3, of the required convergence for the second-order response to the electric field. Default = 1.0e-5 Å3.

Scissors operator: Specify the value, in eV, of the scissors operator to be used in calculating the response to the electric field.

Method: Select the technique to use to calculate Raman intensities from the dropdown list. Available options are:

Initial frequency: Specify the value, in cm-1, of the minimal frequency for which Raman modes are calculated. Default = 0 cm-1.

Final frequency: Specify the value, in cm-1, of the maximal frequency for which Raman modes are calculated. Default = 10000 cm-1.

The frequency range can only be specified only if Method is set to Finite displacement.
