Hello,
what are the frequency units in the netcdf files ndb.elph_gkkp_fragment?
Cheers,
Alejandro.

Dear Alejandro,
yambo uses Hartree for energies.

In the 'gkkp_expanded' in particular the variable 'ph_freqs_sq', that is the square of the phonon energy, should be in Hartree^2.

Best regards,
Davide
