Dear Paolo and QE-users, <br><br>The electron-phonon matrix element is written in terms of ibnd, jbnd, ik, ipert+imode0. (in elphon file)<br>Based on your discussion with Ajit, I realize that ipert is the number of perturbations. <br>
<br>However, I am still having difficulty to project nirr/npert to a specific \nu. It can be easily understand they are related, though. <br> <br>For a phonon wave vector q, there are \nu phonon modes. These modes are categorized into nirr irreducible representations, and each nirr has npert perturbations? Can I assume one perturbation is a component of one phonon pattern? <br>
<br>Would you please point out the relationship between npert and \nu? <br><br>Thanks,<br>Hua
