Dear All,
             I am interested in calculating the electron-phonon coupling 
of a metallic system in QE. I would like to then apply the McMillan 
formula for the prediction of the superconducting Tc.

In the basic tutorials list, /Hands-on Tutorial of Quantum Espresso 
<http://www.fisica.uniud.it/%7Egiannozz/QE-Tutorial/>,/ I could find 
examples on the El-ph calculation for Aluminium at X. Is there any 
further documentation available to indicated on how to find the 
integrated lambda and wlog that enter the McMillan formula for Tc?

Thank you,
David.
