<p>Dear zhouchao,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>in the output file of ph.out with 'electron_phonon'= 'interpolated' or 'simple' you should already have the values of both gamma and lambda, with the corresponding unit of measure. You can find the same information inside elph_dir/elph.inp_lambda*, one for
each q point.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Note that gamma has the unit of measure of frequency, and in QE is reported in GHz, while lambda is adimensional.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Hope this help</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best</p>

Dear Quantum ESPRESSO Experts,</p>
<p style="line-height: 27.2px; font-family: "lucida Grande", Verdana, "Microsoft YaHei"; white-space-collapse: preserve; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px;">
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek clarification on the units of the phonon linewidth, specifically within the
<code style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box;">elph.gamma*</code> output in Quantum ESPRESSO.</p>
<p style="line-height: 27.2px; font-family: "lucida Grande", Verdana, "Microsoft YaHei"; white-space-collapse: preserve; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px;">
Could you kindly confirm whether the units of the phonon linewidth in <code style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box;">
elph.gamma*</code> are expressed in THz? I have been using the formula ¦Ëqv = ¦Ãqv / (¦ÐhN(EF)¦¸qv^2) to calculate the electron-phonon coupling constant for a specific mode, and I obtained a value of 28 for ¦Ëqv. I would appreciate your expertise in assessing the
reasonableness of this result.</p>
<p style="line-height: 27.2px; font-family: "lucida Grande", Verdana, "Microsoft YaHei"; white-space-collapse: preserve; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px;">
Your guidance on this matter would be immensely valuable to my research, and I thank you in advance for your time and assistance.</p>

Best regards,</p>
