<div dir="ltr">Hi Lucas Lodeiro,<div>Thanks for your response. Actually I want to do vibrational analysis in the matrix such as Ar and N2. So basically I want to make a cubic cell of the Ar or N2 and i want to put my molecule of interest inside this cube. So can you tell me what is the exact procedure to do such kind of calculations? Should I have to make a cubic cell first then optimized first and after optimization of this cubic cell I have to put my molecule of interest inside this and again I have to optimize this system? or simply should I make a system of interest and optimize this. </div><div><br></div><div>And one more inquiry I want that my interest in systems has less than 100 atoms so should I have to apply PBC of such kind of systems?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks, Sumit<br><br>On Thursday, January 16, 2020 at 7:31:13 AM UTC-8, Lucas Lodeiro wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Sumit,</div><div>If a vibrational mode presents a "negative" frequency (really it is an imaginary frequency, due to the hessian element is the negative one), it is because your system is not at minimmum stationary point (it could be in a 1° order saddle point).
