Syntax:

electron-scattering <key1> <value1> ...

Description:

Calculate electron-electron scattering rates (expensive!) and output contribution to imaginary part of electron self-energy (calculated effectively using full-frequency G0W0).

The following key-value pairs can appear in any order:

eta <eta>

<eta> in Eh specifies frequency resolution and half the imaginary part ascribed to probe frequency (if zero, the electron temperature is used.)
Ecut <Ecut>

<Ecut> in Eh specifies energy cut-off for dielectric matrices. (If zero, the wavefunction cutoff from elec-cutoff is used instead.)
fCut <fCut>

<fCut> specifies threshold for considering states fully occupied or unoccupied in optimizing sums over states (default: 1e-6)
omegaMax <omegaMax>

<omegaMax> in Eh is the maximum energy transfer to account for and hence the maximum frequency in dielectric function frequency grid. (if zero, autodetermine from available eigenvalues)
slabResponse yes|no

Whether to output slab-normal-direction susceptibility instead. This needs slab geometry in coulomb-interaction, and will bypass the actual electron-electron scattering calculation and output.
EcutTransverse <EcutTransverse>

<EcutTransverse> in Eh specifies energy cut-off for dielectric matrix in. directions trasverse to the slab normal; only valid when slabResponse = yes. (If zero, use the same value as Ecut above.)

Properties:

Requires: coulomb-interaction

Forbids: polarizability

Allow multiple: no

Default: (None)
