Dear developers:
I am confused about the electronic and bosonic temperature in GW_input files. It seems in semiconductors, the default value of the two parameters are not ZERO. The two parameters related to the GW gap in my test.
Do you explain them?
Thanks!

Re: The electronic and bosonic temperature
The bosonic temperature affects the plasmon population (in the screened interaction) and the phonon propagators. The latter ones are important for an electron-phonon calculation that will be possible shortly thanks to the new releases that will appear in occasion of the first Yambo school (next spring in Losusanne).sdwang wrote: I am confused about the electronic and bosonic temperature in GW_input files.

The electronic temperature, instead, will change the electronic occupations.
In the case of semiconductors both temperatures will have no effect as long as the temperature is not similar in size to the electronic gap.
To summarize you should not see any effect in your calculations at the moment.
