Phonon scattering
« on: September 16, 2013, 07:50 »
Dear Sir,
Is it possible to calculate change in electron effective mass due to phonon scattering in 2-D materials in ATK?
Or extract the electron phonon coupling matrices in such cases?

Phonon scattering is not implemented, but you can compute the phonon spectrum, and in theory from that and using the Bloch functions you can extract the phonon coupling constants if you know the theory behind it.

Dear Sir,
Is it possible to extract the electron - phonon interaction hamiltonian from ATK?
