ABINIT Discussion Forums

Hello all
This is Vahid. I am a new user in abinit code.
Recently I have became awarded that LDA+U for phonon calculation is implemented in quantum espresso. The Hubbard parameter U is really essential and needed in my calculations.
However, the electron-phonon coupling is not implemented yet in quantum espresso.

Now I am starting my calculations with abinit code.
Can anyone guide me that, is it possible to calculate electron-phonon coupling with LDA+U in the abinit code or not?

any help would be appreciated.

In principle everything works, in practice no one has tested it. If you do so and have feedback, please write me with your experience. After the abinit calculations, the anaddb runs do not care about the content of the Hamiltonian, so PAW, LDA+U etc... do not matter any more.

good night, and good luck.
