Dear Paolo Giannozzi: Thank you very much for your correction:) I couldn't imagine the physical meaning of imaginary part. I hope I can understand it after reading the paper (PRB62,3735). On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 4:35 PM, Paolo Giannozzi wrote: > > On Apr 7, 2011, at 9:40 , xirainbow wrote: > > >

Dear all, Trying to calculate the born effective charges of my case, the obtained diagonalized principal values of effective charge tensor have imaginary part. The system has been relaxed carefully using Perdew-Zunger ultrasoft psuedopotentilas by ecutoff=50 (55) Ry, and performing the BZ
