As far as I know, WIEN2k still does not include a package to calculate <I^2> [ https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg14478.html ].

For WIEN2k calculations, I have seen <I^2> calculated with the Gaspari-Gyorffy formula [ https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jallcom.2017.09.299 ].

"We thank W. E. Pickett for sharing the RMTA code with us" [ https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.74.184519 ]

However, I haven't seen Pickett's [ http://physics.ucdavis.edu/people/faculty/warren-pickett ] RMTA code available to the general public.

As I recall, the calculation might require that you modify yourself atpar.f [ http://wien.zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.narkive.com/ffod74Mc/calculation-of-electron-phonon-coupling-constant ].

Dear Wien2k, the electron-phonon coupling can be calculated by using the formula

*Lambda=(Eta)/(m<w^2>)*, Here Eta is Hopefield parameter and can be written as

*Eta= N(Ef)*<I^2>*, Here N(Ef) is total density of states and <I^2> is the square of electron-phonon matrix element over fermi surface.

By using some approximations <w^2> can be written as 0.5*(Theta D^2), here Theta D is Debye temperature. And m is average atomic mass
So the final formula will become as

*Lambda=(N(Ef)*<I^2>)/(m*0.5*Theta D^2).*

Here i am facing the problem how to approximate the <I^2> value from wien2K band structure calculations.

Please suggest a solution.
