However I have several questions:</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">(a) when the electron phonon coefficient is being calculated in ph.x, for every point in the phonon space, it is calculated for several values of degauss? which one do we have to choose? is it the one corresponding to the degauss value chosen in the scf input?</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">(b) when calculating lambda, using lambda.x, one of the input parameters is ngauss; I used mp method so nguass=1 in my case , however in the same calculations of (a), ngauss=0. Does that influence the results? how to circumvent this, if it does?</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">(c) The number of phonon points i have in my ph.x calculations is 13! How can I make kpoints.x produce 13 points to be used in lamda.x input?</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">Thanks in advance</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">ELIO A NAHAD</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">University of Rondonia</div><div style="line-height: 21.299999237060547px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">Brazil</div> </div></body>
