No mobility and Scattering rates in the output

Post by Sylvester10 »

I am trying to calculate the scattering rates and mobility. The calculation runs well but in the output, I don't find any files for scattering and mobility. Kindly, let me know what am not doing right. Am using QE6.6, EPW v 5.3.0

Dear Sylvester10,

Please use the latest version of EPW for optimum experience.

After having written the XX.wp file, you can perform a restart using:

Code: Select all

  elph        = .true.
  epbwrite    = .false.
  epbread     = .false.
  epwwrite    = .false.
  epwread     = .true.

  scattering  = .true.
  scattering_serta = .true.
  int_mob     = .false.
  carrier     = .true.
  ncarrier    =  1E10
  iterative_bte = .true.
  epmatkqread = .false.
  mob_maxiter = 200
  wannierize  = .false.

  elecselfen  = .false.
  phonselfen  = .false.
  a2f         = .false.
In particular, note that you do not need to provide the list of q-point in recent version of EPW.

The above should work (leave the other parameters the same).
Let us know.

Best,
Samuel
