Solve the BSE equation at a finite temperature

Post by shan dong » Sat Mar 13, 2021 3:17 pm

Dear all,
It is possible to calculate the relationship between the exciton excitation energy and the temperature under finite temperature conditions by using the yambo code?
Waiting for your replay. Thank you.

Dear Shan Dong,

it is not clear what you mean by "relationship between the exciton excitation energy and the temperature under finite temperature conditions", can you be more explicit about what you would like to calculate?

Dear Daniele,
Thanks for your reply.I want to solve the BSE equation at different temperatures.

Dear Shan Dong,

it is possible to solve the BSE at finite temperature with Yambo, please have a look to these two tutorials

http://www.yambo-code.org/wiki/index.ph ... n_Coupling

http://www.yambo-code.org/wiki/index.ph ... emperature

Notice at present Yambo does different approximation in the BSE at finite temperature, that are described in the second tutorial.

Dear Claudio,
Many thanks!
I do some G0W0 calculations with varying ElecTemp setting to check the the gap vs temperature.After that I do some BSE calculations with varying ElecTemp to check the electron–hole bonding vs temperature. In this process, I did not consider Electron Phonon Coupling, I don’t know if my calculation is correct.Here is my GW and BSE calculation at 200K temperature.

Dear Shan,

in this way you are only changing the occupation number according to a Fermi Dirac distribution.
Note that if your system is a semiconductor this does not have any effect on QP energies and spectra.

Best,
