Thanks for your help. i have successfully produced the file mesh_k with kpoints.x. One more thing : In the input we have smearing method set to one; mine is methfessel-paxton; does this correspond to smearing method =2? and what about the Coulom coefficient mu at the end of the input file? Is it found in the omega_log file? where is that situated? I ma deling with graphene. Thanks again for your help. Elie Koujaes University of NottsNG7 2RDUK

So if I understood correctly, the points used for the el-ph calculations (obtained from ph.x) in my case 10 x 10x 1 (14 q points) are the ones to be used in the lambda.in file right? what about the weight of each point? do we need to give them in the input and how to calculate them?

I have read the input in example07 but have not quite understood how to produce the points in the input file (it states using kpoints.x) but still a bit vague for me..Any clarification regarding this issue would be appreciated.
