How to run EPW for calculating the isotropic superconducting properties

Post by YSW »

Dear all,


I want to run EPW for calculating the isotropic superconducting properties.
What parameters do I need to set ?

I am looking forward to your reply.


Sincerely,

YSW

Hi YSW,

The key flags for the isotropic case are;
liso = .true. and limag = .true.

Please note, if you want to start your calculation by reading Eliashberg spectral function from a file, you need to use the following setups;
ep_coupling = .false.
elph = .false.
fila2f = 'file name containing Eliashberg spectral function'

I hope it helps.

Best,
Hari Paudyal

Dear Hari Paudyal:

Thank you for your reply.It is worked.
But, I have a problem.
Which file is contained the distribution of the isotropic superconducting gap on the Fermi surface?
Just like prefix.pade_aniso_gap0_XX when I am calculating anisotropic superconducting gap.

Sincerely,

YSW
