EPW Forum

Dear moderator,

I have a question regarding the EPW/examples/pb/woSOC/epw (EPW v.5.8.1). It has an output file, pb.a2f.01.0.075. It is the Eliashberg Spectral Function at input temps = 0.075 ! K. Kindly let me know about the the number .01 in the file name.

Thank you,
Best regards,

Dear Krishendu,

The output format spectral function when you set a2f = .true. is <prefix>.a2f.0<isig>.<temp>, where isig represents the smearing index (corresponding to the temperature-like smearing used in the phonon self-energy calculation), and temp is Temperature in K.

In your case, the .01 refers to the first smearing index, while 0.075 corresponds to the temperature.

Thank you Shashi for the reply.
I am now using eliashberg=.true. And there I can input the value of degaussq
