Electron phonon matrix element for all bands

[rvatanme]

Dear all,

I'm trying to calculate the electron phonon matrix elements of diamond at Gamma qpoint for all 8 electronic bands (4 valence and 4 conduction bands) that I'm using in my scf and nscf calculations. But when I set "prtgkk = .true.", the EPW code prints out only the el-ph matrix elements for the 3 branches of conduction band (I guess) as follows:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
iq = 1 coord.: 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
ik = 1 coord.: 0.0166666 -0.0499998 0.0166666

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

However I need those elements for the cases where iband and jband run over (1,2,3,4) and (5,6,7,8) for the valence and conduction bands, respectively. Does anyone know who I can force EPW code to calculates and prints all the elements?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Reza Vatan:

Could you show me your epw.in?

Sincerely,

Hi H. Lee,

I know I'm not the original poster but I ham having a similar problem and couldn't find an answer. I am trying to calculate the electron-phonon coupling matrix elements for the first conduction band of SiC however I am only getting the coupling elements for the valence bands and I am not sure how to proceed.

Here's the input nscf.in that is run immediately before epw.
