Coulomb potential in 2D materials in Eliashberg equation

Post by dinesh169 »

Hello Everyone,

I am using EPW4.0 and I want to ask about the Eliashberg equation. My equation references are from PRB 87 024505 2013.

In equation 11 of above paper, for Coulomb self-energy is the Coulomb potential treated differently for 3D and 2D case? I see only system_2D flag which does not give much information.
Could you please clarify this?
Best wishes,
roxana

Hi,

In the EPW implementation of the Eliashberg equations the Coulomb potential only enters as a parameter (same for any dimension).
