Typical input files for calculation of the Brillouin zone centre phonon modes of TcS2, ReS2,and ReSe2 and their Raman activities are contained in the files: TcS2_inputs.zip ReS2_inputs.zip ReSe2_inputs.zip respectively. Starting values of the atomic coordinates can be found in the paper cited (in particular, Lamfers et al.) and have been relaxed via DFT. DFT calculations were performed with the Quantum Espresso (aka PWSCF) code. Please see the documentation of this code for explanation of the above input parameters, plus citations in the article to the publications of the authors of the code.
