Re: Real part of g is larger than |g| and |g_sym| in DFPT calculation?

Hi Jack, Thanks for reporting the issue. As you noticed, the newly added entries |g|, Re(g), and Im(g) are provided only as additional information about the electron–phonon coupling. The current |g_sym| corresponds to the symmetrized |g| that was reported previously; see the discussion here: https:/ ...

Re: Question on the physical meaning of |g_sym| and |g| in QE 7.5 electron–phonon matrix elements

Hi Neal, Thanks for the question. Of these four entries, "|g_sym|" is the quantity that corresponds to the |g| printed in older verions of PH and EPW: it is obtained by symmetrizing (algebraically averaging) over degenerate electronic states and phonon modes, as you noticed. Unless you have a ...
