Re: [Pw_forum] Strange Values of Tc
I'm not an expert of this specific calculation, but I suspect that the equation breaks down if even a tiny negative frequency is present. This because energy conservation between phonons and electrons would not be enforceable in a meaningful way. Sometimes, if the system has internal degrees of freedom, a very fine relax calculation can remove negative frequencies.

Re: [Pw_forum] Strange Values of Tc
Dear Prof Warren, Yes, QE uses the Allen-Dynes equation to determine the Tc. I appreciate your additional insight in to the value of lambda. We're reexamining to ensure that computational errors and noises are ruled out. Then conclusive inference can be made from the result. Your response is really appreciated. Isaiah.

Re: [Pw_forum] Strange Values of Tc
Isaiah, I'm not familiar with the workings of QE, but without solution of the full Eliashberg equations it must be using the Allen-Dynes equation (as most do) to obtain Tc. The basic fact is that with a standard Coulomb repulsion mu-star = 0.10-0.15, with lambda less than 0.3 or so there will be no superconductivity. The A-D equation was not fit to tiny values of Tc and no one should be interested in those results. If non-zero, they will be extremely sensitive to lambda, as you can see. [And you can get nonsensical large values! as you can see] So just accept that if lambda < 0.3 or so, any results cannot be trusted and its not an interesting el-ph superconductor. Warren Warren E.

Re: [Pw_forum] Strange values of Tc
I’m not an expert about el-ph calculations. However, if it were a calculation made by myself, I would never trust Tc values obtained after modifying by hand lambda.f90, even if they were perfectly reasonable. el-ph calculations for sure require extremely well converged electron calculations as well as well extremely well converged phonon calculations. So I would go through the phonon calculation, understand why there are negative frequencies and, even once you have obtained all positive frequencies, understand whether or not they are converged.
