For the first time, Born effective charge tensors and far- and mid-infrared responses for both the polymorph phases of 4T have been calculated. We have also proposed an assignment of the main spectral infrared signatures of the 4T polymorph phases. These assignments could be of particular interest in the far-infrared domain for the understanding of the electronic transport of these materials. |
