Queries regarding ATK

[ruyam]

1. Is there a way to take into consideration Lattice Temperature in ATK ? There is electron temperature in calculators but is there a way to take into consideration the lattice temperature?

2. In my earlier post, I was informed that electron-phonon interaction will be introduced in the newer version. Can you let me know whether its done or yet to come?

3. Does ATK take into consideration self-heating due to phonon generation?

Kindly reply!

1. One possibility is via electron-phonon scattering (see 2). Another possibility is answered in a separate post http://quantumwise.com/forum/index.php?topic=3322
2. The new version with this model included will be released in May-June 2015
3. No, not in ATK 2015. Maybe in 2016.
