ELPH_SELFEN_ENERGY_WINDOW

From VASP Wiki

ELPH_SELFEN_ENERGY_WINDOW = [real, real]
Default: ELPH_SELFEN_ENERGY_WINDOW = 0.0 0.0 

Description: Specifies the energy window (in eV) around the band edges within which the electron-phonon self-energy is computed.

Mind: Available as of VASP 6.5.0

The self-energy is evaluated for electronic states with energies in the intervals around the valence band minimum (VBM) and the conduction band minimum (CDM), with an energy window defined with ELPH_SELFEN_ENERGY_WINDOW = a b:

  • from VBM – a up to VBM, and
  • from CBM up to CBM + b
