Default: ELPH_SELFEN_MU = 0.0 

Description: List of chemical potentials at which to compute the electron-phonon self-energy and transport coefficients.


Each chemical potential specified in the list will be added to the Fermi energy determined for the k point grid KPOINTS_ELPH. This Fermi energy might be different from the one determined in the self-consistent calculation if the k point meshes or ELPH_ISMEAR is different from ISMEAR. The Fermi energy from the self-consistent and non-self-consistent calculations can be read from the OUTCAR file. For example

$ grep "Fermi energy" OUTCAR
 Fermi energy:         3.5134142202
 Fermi energy:         3.5314189274 eV (dense k-point grid)

In this example, ELPH_SELFEN_MU = 0.1 means that the chemical potential will be set to 3.5314189274+0.1 eV. This can be verified Chemical potential calculation section of the OUTCAR file.

For each of these chemical potentials and temperatures, the number of electrons per cell is computed and reported. These, in turn, can be converted to a carrier density by dividing be the volume of the unit cell. If more than one value is present in ELPH_SELFEN_MU, more columns are added to the list of chemical potentials above and more instances of the electron self-energy due to electron-phonon coupling accumulators are created. The number of rows is set by the list of temperatures in ELPH_SELFEN_TEMPS.

Alternatively, one can specify the carrier density in units of by using the ELPH_SELFEN_CARRIER_DEN tag.
