I am simulating crystal structures of tricalcium silicate, dicalcium
silicate, etc. to obtain the IR spectra of the molecules using CASTEP. When
I do the Anaylsis of the IR spectrum, I can see all the vibrational modes.
But, apart from only coming to conclusions via visualizations, I want to
quantify the type of modes, i.e, symmetric and asymmetric bending modes.
For this purpose, I want to know the amplitude, directions and angles of
the vectors of the motions of the atoms. All these information, I am not
being able to find in the CASTEP output file.
Can I get all this information in any of the CASTEP files? If not, can
anyone kindly suggest what else I can do?
Thanking you.
