[lfhuang]

Dear ali kazempour: 
Now you have got the band structure and el-ph coupling constant from your DFT calculations, MAYBE self-energy of the electrons due to el-ph coupling can lead the band structure closer to realistics. But these things are so complicated for me to give you detailed descriptions derectly, and you can refer to some books on solid state theory for related solutions(e.g. semi-classical approximation). 
Best Wishes! 
Yours Sincerely

> Hi all 
> I am studying the defect induced level in Ionic semiconductor like TiO2 and ZnO. In this material the coupling between electron and phonon is very strong specially when a defect forms in these materials. 
> But by LDA and GGA normally we predict wrong defect level for them. I am in initial steps and Don't know whether the electron-phonon calculation help to predict and obtain correct defect level or not? I saw exampl07 is about electron-phonon coupling that at last prepare the lambda Vs. broadening , But I Don't know how to connect them to defect level? could anyone help me how can I use el-ph calculation to improve the levels? 
> thanks a lot
