IBRION 6 for single-layered materials

#1 Post by spicykamal » Fri Jul 22, 2016 11:07 pm

Hi
I would like to compare the elastic constants of bulk MoS2 and 1 layer MoS2. For 1-layer MoS2, the z-axis symmetry is broken, so is IBRION 6 based elastic constant calculation method still applicable?

Best Regards
Kamal Choudhary

You can use IBRION=5, and using Selective Dynamics compare selected elastic constants or frequencies.
