Different Tc obtained in EPW and lambda.x calculation

Post by jisvin »

Dear Expert users,
The estimated Allen-Dynes Tc using EPW is twice that obtained from Quantum espresso lambda.x calculation. Why is this discrepancy happening? I was solving an isotropic Eliashberg equation.

Hi,

You need to converge lambda with both k and q meshes. This is not very easily done in QE since the k and q meshes used are in general pretty coarse.
