The terahertz frequency spectrum of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) is calculated using Discover1 with the COMPASS2 force field, CASTEP [3] and PWscf.4 The calculations are compared to each other and to terahertz spectra (0.3–3 THz) of crystalline PETN recorded at 4 K. A number of analysis methods are used to characterise the calculated normal modes.
