You can calculate electron-phonon coupling constant using ph.x (first you should do a scf calculation), then evaluate T_c by means of the McMillan or Allen-Dynes type equation. 

 
You can try find the paper  "Electron-phonon coupling in metallic solids from density functional theory"  by Shyamal K. Bose and Jens Kortus.  


Good luck,
Eyvaz.

Hi all,

I want to know can pwscf be used to  study Superconductivity, say, based 
on bcs theory?
