Exciton-phonon coupling and luminescence
This tutorial works only with Yambo version > 6.x
The exciton-phonon part of Yambo does not support symmetries yet!!!
This an advanced tutorial, in order to calculate exciton-phonon coupling and phonon-assisted absorption/emission you need a deep knowledge of the theory and of the Yambo code.
In this tutorial we will calculate phonon-assisted absorption and luminescence including the scattering between exciton and phonon.[1][2][3]
We will consider as example bulk silicon. Notice that parameters of the present tutorial are not at convergence, but are just as a possible example.
The tutorial includes several steps and the calculations can be quite expensive.
Electron-phonon matrix elements:
First of all we calculate electron-phonon matrix elements as explained in the section: Electron-phonon matrix elements.
