ELPH_SCATTERING_APPROX
ELPH_SCATTERING_APPROX = [string]
Default: ELPH_SCATTERING_APPROX = SERTA MRTA_LAMBDA
Description: Select which type of approximation is used to compute the electron scattering due to electron-phonon coupling
The possible options are:
CRTA
Constant relaxation time approximation
SERTA
Self-energy relaxation time approximation
ERTA_LAMDBA
Energy relaxation time approximation (mean-free path approximation)
ERTA_TAU
Energy relaxation time approximation (lifetime approximation)
MRTA_LAMDBA
Momentum relaxation time approximation (mean-free path approximation)
MRTA_TAU
Momentum relaxation time approximation (lifetime approximation)
Note that when the CRTA option is selected, the reading of the phelel_params.hdf5 file and calculation of electron self-energy is completely skipped.
