The Born effective charges can be computed from the response of the dipole moment to ionic displacement:
\begin{align} \label{eq:Born}
Z^{*}_{i j \alpha} = -\frac{\partial^2 E}{\partial \mathcal{E}_i \partial R_{j \alpha}}
= \frac{\partial \mu_i}{\partial R_{j \alpha}} = Z_{\alpha} \delta_{ij}
+ - \sum_n^{\rm occ} \left< \varphi_n \left| r_i \right| \frac{\partial \varphi_n}{\partial R_{j \alpha}} \right>
\end{align}
The intensities for each mode for absorption of radiation polarized in direction $i$, which can be used to predict infrared spectra, are calculated by multiplying by the normal mode eigenvector $x$
\begin{align}

We can compute the Born charges from the electric-field response in either finite or periodic systems (as a complementary approach to using the vibrational response):
\begin{align}
Z^{*}_{i j \alpha} = -\frac{\partial^2 E}{\partial \mathcal{E}_i \partial R_{j \alpha}} = \frac{\partial F_{j \alpha}}{\partial \mathcal{E}_i} \\ \nonumber
= Z_\alpha \delta_ij}
+ - \sum_n^{\rm occ} \left[ \left< \varphi_n \left| \frac{\partial V_{\alpha}}{\partial
R_{i \alpha}} r_i} \right| \frac{\partial \varphi_n}{\partial \mathcal{E}_j} \right> + {\rm cc.} \right]
\end{align}
This expression
can be evaluated with the same approach as for the dynamical matrix elements, and is easily generalized to non-zero frequency too.
We can also make the previous expression Eq. \ref{eq:Born} for Born charges from the vibrational perturbation usable in a periodic system with the replacement $\vec{r} \varphi \rightarrow -i \partial \varphi/\partial k$.
Unfortunately the $\vec{k} \cdot \vec{p}$ perturbation is not usable to calculate the polarization \cite{Resta_2007}, and a sum over strings of k-points on a finer grid is required. We have implemented the special case of a $\Gamma$-point calculation for a large supercell, where the single-point Berry phase can be used \cite{Yaschenko1998}. For cell sizes $L_i$ in each direction, the dipole moment is derived from the determinant of a matrix whose basis is the occupied KS orbitals:
