<div>Dear Tapas Kar:
<BR>
In 2004, S. Piscanec et al. calculated the e-p interaction constants of graphite by DFPT [ref. 1], and then in 2005, they applied these constants approximately to the calculation of transport properties of carbon nanotubes [ref. 2]. You also could look at another paper on the e-p scattering in metallic SWCNT[ref. 3]. There are a lot of papers on this kind of things, and I just did the calculations for fun and practice nearly two years ago, so I had not published any paper on it. And if you want to calculate the e-ph coupling derectly in nanotubes, there will be two difficulties: (1) tremendous cpu times; (2) complicated band structures. So, in my opinion, analytical derivation should be prefered here, just like the way in [ref. 2]. In addition, I'm not a professor, and I'm a ph.D candidate. I'm sorry for having not mentioned it in my affiliation before :).

<BR>
</FONT><FONT color=#444444>>
<BR>
</FONT><FONT color=#444444>> indeed - one generally calculates the electronic electrical
<BR>

</FONT><FONT color=#444444>> electronic thermal conductivity.
<BR>
</FONT><FONT color=#444444>>
<BR>
</FONT><FONT color=#444444>> For the electrical conductivity, I'd be fairly impressed by Huang
<BR>
</FONT><FONT color=#444444>> if he had managed to do that from el-ph calculations - the dependence on
<BR>
</FONT><FONT color=#444444>> k,k+q seems to require very careful integrations to estimate lifetimes ?

</FONT><FONT color=#444444>> Dear Tapas Kar:
<BR>
</FONT><FONT color=#444444>> In my opinion, you may need some analytical derivation after DFT calculations. I have calculated the semiclassical transport properties of the electrons in graphene. First, I calculated the band structure and electron-phonon interactions by PWSCF, and then I derived the transport properties using Boltzmann equation. Because the band structure of graphene is not complicated, it is not hard for me to understand the physics and calculate the transport properties. May these can be helpful to you. In addition, please put your own affiliation at the bottom of you email, because that is a netiquette.
