How can I calculate the in-plane stiffness and Poisson’s ratio of a graphene monolayer?
I used a 2x2x1 rectangular supercell of graphene to calculate the elastic properties (in-plane stiffness and Poisson’s ratio). The in-plane stiffness can be given by the following equation,
$$C^2D= \...

how can I calculate Poisson's ratio of graphene monolayer (2D material)
How can I calculate the Poisson's ratio of graphene monolayer, where I got the in-plane stiffness along the x-axis? most of the papers use this equation
ES = b1Ꜫx2 + b2Ꜫy2 + b3ꜪxꜪy
to calculate the ...

Is it a good idea to always read charge and orbitals if I am working on similar systems?
For example, if I am investigating of the elastic properties of a crystal by doing a lot of computations of crystals applied with small strain.
Also, is it a good idea to read charge and orbitals when ...

Elastic constant calculation
I want to calculate elastic constants with VASP "by hand" (not by, e.g., DFPT) as I have a big structure (64 atoms). For this, I am making tests on $\ce{Si}$ at the moment.
So, I have done ...
