[CP2K:4585] IR of H2O molecule

[JianJun Yang]

Hello,
I'd like to update my progress on this issue.
It turns out the rotation of the molecule is responsible for the peak 
splitting, as Ari said. To control the rotation motion of the molecule, we 
have to combine "ANGVEL_ZERO" with "none-periodic" calculation. In that 
way, I got the correct IR vibrational frequencies for H2O molecule.
 
But, I have another question again about the intensity of the IR. It looks 
the intensity ratio of the 3 modes is not correct. The IR was obtained from 
Travis program. My question is that how the Travis program work on IR 
calculation? Has it considered the prefactor of the FT of the dipole 
correlation function to get the correct intensity? Thanks a lot!
 
Regards,
Jianjun
