Dear All,

I want to post process the lifetime data calculated in the tutorial Lifetimes. I have tried the ypp code to interpolate band structure. But how should I interpolate the lifetime to get a plot similar to the "Diamond lifetimes in a 2D picture" plot shown in the tutorial page.

I wanted to plot quasiparticle band structure including the lifetime to show finite broadening of the bands.

Dear Soumyajyoti Haldar,
there is not a tool to interpolate lifetimes, the plot you see in the tutorial are simple fit done with the gnuplot software.
You can type help fit in the gnuplot software in order to look how to fit data in gnuplot.
Best,
Daniele

Thanks for the information Daniele.
