[DFTB-Plus-User] electron phonon interaction and matrix derivative

[Gabriele Penazzi]

Hi Dirk,

I assume you are speaking about the formulation as used for example for
IETS spectra in molecular junctions.

I don't think that is is supported in the current version, even though
there may be ongoing work on that.

Some time ago I wanted to calculate the coupling matrices for some
molecules, and I did some scripting to help on that.
It worked only on molecules (or in Gamma, for bulk), and I would guess it
won't run without hassle
with the new versions of DFTB+ because it has been written 3 or 4 years ago
and never used again, but maybe
if that's what you need, you can use it as inspiration. It's public domain:
https://bitbucket.org/gpenazzi/dftbtools (lok in elcoupl,py).

It has also the ASE package (Atomic Simulation Environment) as a
requirement.
