ELPH_SELFEN_MU_RANGE = [real array] 

Description: List of the range of chemical potentials (in eV) at which to compute the phonon-mediated electron self-energy and transport coefficients.

Mind: Available as of VASP 6.5.0

A set of different chemical potentials can be set using ELPH_SELFEN_MU_RANGE as a shift with respect to the Fermi level [math]\displaystyle{ E_F }[/math] as an alternative to ELPH_SELFEN_MU. A range of chemical potentials can be defined using ELPH_SELFEN_MU_RANGE = l u n, where:

  • l is the lower limit of the chemical potential range.
  • u is the upper limit of the chemical potential range.
  • n is the number of steps between the two limits.

For example, ELPH_SELFEN_MU_RANGE = -1.0 1.0 101 would create a list of 101 points around the Fermi level between [math]\displaystyle{ E_F - 1.0 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ E_F + 1.0 }[/math].
