[QE-users] electron lifetimes plus electron band in k-space

[Lorenzo Paulatto]

Hello Roc,
electron lifetime cannot exist in single-particle Kohn-Sham method, you need some beyond-KS method, they tend to be have different pros and cons but generally they are quite complicated and computationally expensive. All of them are implemented in the QE distribution, directly or via some tightly coupled code.

You've better check literature and textbooks first to clear your ideas and understand what you really need.
kind regards
