Dear everybody,
A simple question is that i wanta konw the Allen-Dynes Tc value. How could i find in epw.out?

Hi wyq1,

You can find the Allen-Dynes Tc in the epw.out file using the following command

grep "Estimated Allen-Dynes Tc =" epw.out

Firstly,thank you very much for your replying,
then i also have a question whether Estimated Allen-Dynes Tc is diferent when i put diferet tmeps in epw.in.
If so, which is the true Estimated Allen-Dynes Tc?
Thank you again :D :D

Hi wqy1,
If you look at the attached equation for the Allen-Dynes Tc, the only parameters entering are the isotropic e-ph coupling strength, logarithmic averaged phonon frequency, and semiempirical Coulomb parameter mu*. So, the different temps that you use in epw.in file do not change Allen-Dynes Tc. These temps in epw.in file are the ones for solving isotropic or anisotropic Eliashberg equations to estimate the superconducting gap at the fixed temperatures.
