I did manage to break up the calculation by setting IBTE to .false. and removing the magnetic fields.

Dear EPW community, I have a system which requires a 250x250x250 k/q grid to converge the conductivity without impurity. I had to break up this big job into k-segments and q-segments to finish it. To add impurity, I tried to break up the q-grid into segments but the code crashed. Does the impurity ...

The velocities of the modes can be obtained by simply doing the following single loop: CALL vmewan2blochp(xxq, nmodes, nrr_q, irvec_q, ndegen_q, uf, vmefp(:, :, :), wf(:, qind), rws, nrws) DO imode=1,nmodes vmeqf(:, imode)=REAL(vmefp(:, imode, imode), KIND = DP) ENDDO I was averaging the six modes ...

Dear EPW users, I am using EPW-5.4.1. To extract phonon velocities of Si (I am actually interested in the +/- sign of the velocity not the correct magnitude), I have added the following to the ephwann_shuffle.f90: CALL vmewan2blochp(xxq, nmodes, nrr_q, irvec_q, ndegen_q, uf, vmefp(:, :, :), wf ...

Dear Shashi, It seems that the reason we are getting two different wedge points is the EPW version. I was using QE-7.0 and in that version of EPW, wedge points are not the same as the latest development QE version. Perhaps this was a bug which got fixed at some point but there is no documentation on ...

Dear Shashi, Attached please see the EPW input files, and the epw.out file. The scattering rate includes 41917 kpoints. Attached is also the file mesh_k output by PW/tools/kpoints.x. There are 21084 wedge points. It is possible that the issue is related to the use of two different carbon atoms, C ...

Dear EPW users, When I run graphene with a 500x500 k-grid, QE reduces the job to 21084 k-points in the wedge as expected. However, EPW creates a 41917 k-point wedge with the same k-grid. The issue is likely due to the use of a Gamma-centred BZ by QE versus a [0:1] k-grid by EPW. Are there any ...

Dear Shashi,

Thank you for this clarification. I will use the develop branch to get the conductivity and then compare to BTE and IBTE results.

Best,
Vahid

Dear Shashi, Thank you for this clarification but the change in Fermi energy occurs before IBTE starts (input Fermi level=2.8249eV). Here is the relevant section of the output: ============================================================================================= BTE in the self-energy ...

Dear Shashi, I ran an IBTE calculation on the Pb (no SOC) example in the EPW folder. Attached are the input and output EPW files. The Fermi energy is set to 11.7176eV in the input. In the output near the end where the iterative conductivities are printed, the Fermi level is changed by EPW to 11 ...
