Hi dear users and experts
well i had a several problems when i calculate the anisotropic superconducting gap in the first calculation i had 9 K° in the critical temperature and now is totally different also the calculation need some memory and i have 32go which is fair enough for it
can someone help me to find the good results
best
here attached the last part of the output

Dear ilias-serifi:

Did you use the input flag of "lacon=.true."?
I would like to ask you to (1) let me know the version of EPW you are using and (2) provide the EPW input.

Sincerely,

H. Lee

Hi ilias-serifi,

In addition to H. lee's comment,

I see some unphysical numbers in your output files, could you please double-check these?

1. The value of lambda with the Migdal-approx. is 1.2556402 while with the Eliashberg is 6.4866515.
2. You have "Fermi window (eV) = 1.0000000000E+10", can you please check why did you use this large value? and the "Electron smearing (eV) = 5.0000000000E-01"?

Once we see all input files, we can help you further.

Best,
Hari

Dear ilias-serifi:

lacon = .true.

If you want to use the input flag of lacon, you have to use the most recent version of EPW v.5.4.1 included in QE v7.0 since all previous versions of EPW have a bug which I fixed in EPW v.5.4.1.

Sincerely,

H. Lee
