lang=EN-US>Hi Quantum espresso users!<BR><BR>I want to learn to calculate
electron-phonon constant. The example of Al in exapmel07 shows that it is
convenient to use a sparse k-point (nk1*nk2*nk3) grid to calculate the phonons
(nq1*nq2*nq3), and use a dense k-point grid (nk1fit*nkfit2*nkfit3) to calculate
the sum at the Fermi energy. The latter MUST contain all k and k+q grid points
used in the subsequent electron-phonon calculation. A puzzle rises. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"></SPAN>Dose the vector ¡°k¡± mentioned above belong to
sparse grid or dense grid? <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"></SPAN>The former
means i/nk1+j/nq1=k/nkfit and latter means <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"></SPAN>i/nkfit1+j/nq1=k/nkfit1 where i,j,k are
integer.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Which is right? I found the
PWSCF won¡¯t produce Error but produce different results in two cases.
