> >     - Read the electron-phonon quantities calculated by ph.x with the
> >     electron_phonon='ahc' option.

> >     - Calculate the phonon-induced electron self-energy in the full matrix form
> >     at a given temperature.

ahc_nbndskip | INTEGER
Default: | 0
>     Number of bands to exclude when computing the self-energy. Must be identical to
>     ahc_nbndskip of the ph.x run with electron_phonon='ahc'.

flvec | CHARACTER
Status: | REQUIRED
>     File containing the normalized phonon displacements written by matdyn.x.
[Back to Top]
eta | REAL
Status: | REQUIRED
>     Magnitude of the small imaginary component included to smooth the energy
>     denominators, in Ry.
[Back to Top]
temp_kelvin | REAL
Status: | REQUIRED
>     Temperature in Kelvins at which the electron self-energy is calculated.
[Back to Top]
efermi | REAL
Status: | REQUIRED
>     Fermi energy of the electrons in Ry.

amass_amu(i), i=1,nat | REAL
Status: | REQUIRED
>     Mass for each atom in atomic mass unit. In postahc.x, amass_amu must be
>     set for each atom, not for each atom type as in other programs.

skip_upperfan | LOGICAL
Default: | .false.
>     If .true., skip calculation of the upper Fan self-energy.
>     If .false., ahc_upfan_iq#.bin files must be present in ahc_dir.
