Electron-Phonon from Exciting Code

Dear all,

I would be grateful if someone could point me to examples and/or tutorials for calculation of the electron-phonon matrix elements and coupling using the Exciting code.

Many thanks.

Dear Omololu,

sorry for the late reply. The implementation of phonons from density-functional perturbation theory, electron-phonon matrix elements and derived electron-phonon coupling effects is currently in progress. Phonons and electron-phonon matrix elements from DFPT will very likely be part of a future release in the following months. Further electron-phonon interactions (self-energy, quasi-particle life times, spectral functions) will follow later.

Kind regards,
Sebastian

Is this version of exciting released?

Phonons from DFPT will be part of the new release coming in February. Electron-phonon interactions are scheduled to be released in August.
