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
ibnd jbnd imode enk[eV] enk+q[eV] omega(q)[meV] |g|[meV]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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?

Re: Electron phonon matrix element for all bands
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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
&control
calculation = 'nscf'
prefix = 'sic'
pseudo_dir = '../'
outdir = './'
