#%% H2 molecule : examine the rotational freedom.
#%% The present test produces the following
#%% vibrational frequencies (with degeneracies indicated):
#%% 56.89 i cm-1 (2)
#%% 0.41 cm-1 (2)
#%% 1.05 cm-1
#%% 3800 cm-1
#%% The large frequency corresponds to the stretching
#%% mode, and has the right order of magnitude.
#%% The frequencies close to 1 cm-1 corresponds
#%% to translation modes, and are small enough
#%% for usual applications.
#%% The 56.89 i cm-1 mode corresponds to rotation of
#%% the H2 molecule. The magnitude of this
#%% frequency might seem quite
#%% large. Here are the results of tests made to understand
#%% this phenomenon. First, note that
#%% ecut 12 acell 3*14
#%% Increasing the value of ecut to 25 decreases
#%% the magnitude of the frequency to 36.8 cm-1 .
#%% However, in order to continue to make it smaller,
#%% the cell size must be increased , and an oscillatory
#%% behaviour is observed :
#%% 3*16 45.6 i cm-1
#%% 3*18 22.7 cm-1
#%% 3*20 19.1 i cm-1
#%% 3*22 15.7 i cm-1
#%% 3*24 13.7 cm-1
#%% Many other tests have been set up. In particular,
#%% it was observed that the frequency of the oscillatory
#%% behaviour changes with the ecut, and also that
#%% using the Gamma point, instead of the 1/4 1/4 1/4 k point
#%% (used in this test) degrades the convergence.
#%% The overall picture is as follows.
#%% There are different reasons for the translation
#%% and rotation modes to acquire a non-zero frequency
#%% when plane waves and supercells are used.
#%% Still, as concerns translations, only the
#%% existence of a discretization of the XC grid
#%% is important. For rotations, supercell effects
#%% are also present :
#%% - alignement of dipole or quadrupoles
#%% - interaction between tails of wavefunctions, accross cells
#%% Since the convergence in supercell size is oscillatory, we infer
#%% that the breaking of the rotational invariance is mostly
#%% due to interaction between wavefunction tails.
#%% This will be checked by confining the system in a spherical
#%% well, in a forthcoming test.
