Does EPW work with molecules?

Post by chrisewolf »

Dear all,

I have a very basic question: does EPW work with isolated systems, e.g. a molecule or an impurity embedded in a host? I can get nice phonons and well-converged Wannier "bands" but the linewidths are very sketchy (huge numbers, sometimes negative)..

Average over degenerate eigenstates is performed
WARNING: only the eigenstates within the Fermi window are meaningful

any comment or help is very much appreciated!
