Dear zhouchao,
in the output file of ph.out with 'electron_phonon'= 'interpolated' or 'simple' you should already have the values of both gamma and lambda, with the corresponding unit of measure. You can find the same information inside elph_dir/elph.inp_lambda*, one for each q point. Note that gamma has the unit of measure of frequency, and in QE is reported in GHz, while lambda is adimensional. Hope this help Best Chiara Cignarella PhD student EPFL - THEOS ________________________________ Da: users <users-boun...@lists.quantum-espresso.org> per conto di zhouchao via users <users@lists.quantum-espresso.org> Inviato: mercoled?? 29 novembre 2023 15:02:23 A: users Oggetto: [QE-users] the units of the phonon linewidth Dear Quantum ESPRESSO Experts, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek clarification on the units of the phonon linewidth, specifically within the elph.gamma* output in Quantum ESPRESSO. Could you kindly confirm whether the units of the phonon linewidth in elph.gamma* are expressed in THz? I have been using the formula ??qv = ??qv / (??hN(EF)??qv^2) to calculate the electron-phonon coupling constant for a specific mode, and I obtained a value of 28 for ??qv. I would appreciate your expertise in assessing the reasonableness of this result. Your guidance on this matter would be immensely valuable to my research, and I thank you in advance for your time and assistance. Best regards, zhouchao
