* ''n'' is the number of steps to take between the two.
{{NB|important|When ''l'' or ''u'' is set to positive, electrons are added, i.e., ''n''-doping; when negative. When ''l'' or ''u'' is set to negative, electrons are removed from the system, i.e., ''p''-doping.}}

ELPH_SELFEN_TEMPS_RANGE = [real array] 

Description: The range of temperatures (in K) at which to compute the phonon-mediated electron self-energy and transport coefficients.

Mind: Available as of VASP 6.5.0

This list of temperatures is used to determine the chemical potential, the occupation factors entering the electron self-energy due to electron-phonon coupling as well as the transport coefficients in the context of a transport calculation.

A range of temperatures can be defined using ELPH_SELFEN_TEMPS_RANGE = l u n, where:

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

For example, ELPH_SELFEN_TEMPS_RANGE = 0 700 41 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].
