Plotting phonon branch resolved eletron scattering rate.

[jk262626]

Dear Nakib,

It looks like I could plot phonon scattering rate depending on the phonon branches.
Would it be possible to export electron scattering rate interacting with each phonon branch from the elphbolt?

Dear Jiyoung,

Yes, it is in principle possible to plot the electron scattering rates for each phonon branch. But for that you will need to modify src/interactions.f90 -> calculate_eph_interaction_ibzk. You will find that there is a phonon bands loop:

!Run over phonon branches
do s = 1, wann%numbranches
...

You have to set your target branch there and compute the scattering rate one phonon band at a time. There is no cleaner way to do this at the moment.

Best,
Nakib
