[Pw_forum] x-ray spectra with "Fermi-Dirac" electronic smearing.

[Huolin Xin]

Dear developers,

Since when did quantum espresso start to offer XANEFS calculations? I
remember I sent an email on this forum half of a hear ago to ask
whether anyone is interested in developing an EELS calculation plugin.
I got no response.

As we know, considering the contribution of electronic temperature, we should use the Fermi-Dirac distribution. However, when i want to calculate the "calculation='fermi_level'", it stopped with a hints of "metallic case". I read the code of xpectra.f90, it seems that we can not calculate the cases using a smearing of 'fermi-dirac', is it right?
