[Pw_forum] Can we calculate the el-ph coulping by US PPs ?

[degironc]

effective charges and el-ph coefficients using US PP have been
implemented (one or two years ago)
while third-order coefficients are not available (and no one is working
on that to my knowledge).
Thanks for pointing us the inconsistensy in the web page.
