Description: Specifies the maximum energy (in eV) to be considered when computing the transport distribution function for plotting.

By default, the upper energy limit is set to [math]\displaystyle{ \max(\varepsilon_{n\mathbf{k}}) }[/math] + 5 eV, where [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon_{n\mathbf{k}} }[/math] are the electronic eigenvalues computed in the k-point mesh defined by the KPOINTS_ELPH file. The transport function for plotting is evaluated on a linear energy grid of energies between ELPH_TRANSPORT_EMIN_PLOT and ELPH_TRANSPORT_EMAX_PLOT and with ELPH_TRANSPORT_NEDOS_PLOT points. The transport function for plotting is computed additionally to the one that is used to evaluate the Onsager coefficients but allows choosing a different energy range, thus not compromising the accuracy of the transport calculations.
The transport function and corresponding energy grids are written to vaspout.h5
