HESSEMAT defines the Hesse matrix in Cartesian coordinates (𝐇_𝐱 ) for the use in Thermodynamic integration with harmonic reference. For a system containing N atoms, HESSEMAT has (3N+1)(N+1) lines. The first line specifies potential energy V0,𝐱(𝐱0) (in eV) of the relaxed system for which 𝐇_𝐱 is computed. The following 3N lines are reserved for positions in fractional coordinates of all atoms constituting the system, whereby each line should contain three components of position vector of a single atom. The remaining part of HESSEMAT consist of 3N block of N+1 lines each. Each block contains information related to a single eigenmode of 𝐇_𝐱: the first line specified the eigenvalue (in eV/Å2) and remaining and N lines the corresponding eigenvector (in Cartesian coordinates) in a 3-column format.
