                          mai  nbj

    where F+/F- denotes the force in direction j on atom nb when atom ma is
    displaced in direction +i/-i. The force constants are related by various
    symmetry relations. From the definition of the force constants it must
    be symmetric in the three indices mai::

                nbj    mai         bj        ai
               C    = C      ->   C  (R ) = C  (-R )  .
                mai    nbj         ai  n     bj   n

    As the force constants can only depend on the difference between the m and
    n indices, this symmetry is more conveniently expressed as shown on the
    right hand-side.

                           _ _
