The evaluation of atomic polar tensors and BEC tensors using DFPT method and simulation of dipole strengths and infrared absorption spectra for peptides have been conducted in this study, with results decomposed and visualized for discussion.
The evaluation of atomic polar tensors and Born Effective Charge (BEC) tensors from Density Functional Perturbation Theory (DFPT) has been implemented in the CP2K code package. This implementation is based on a combination of the Gaussian and plane wave approach for the description of basis functions and arising potentials. The presence of non-local pseudo-potentials has been considered, as well as contributions arising from the basis functions being centered on the atoms. Simulations of both periodic and non-periodic systems have been implemented and carried out. Dipole strengths and infrared absorption spectra have been calculated for two isomers of the tripeptide Ser-Pro-Ala using DFPT and are compared to the results of standard vibrational analyses using finite differences. The spectra are then decomposed into five subsets by employing localized molecular orbitals/maximally localized Wannier functions, and the results are discussed. Moreover, group coupling matrices are employed for visualization of results. Furthermore, the BECs and partial charges of the surface atoms of a periodic (101) anatase (TiO2) slab have been investigated in a periodic framework.
