Yambo Community Forum

Dear Yambo devs,

I'm trying to figure out where \epsilon_{GG'}^{-1}(q,\omega) is computed in yambo,
as in equation (6) of the yambo paper.

I think the information in
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=132
is slightly outdated, but so far I see that, for example,
invoking yambo with the -b option to compute the static inverse dielectric matrix results in a call
to X_dielectric matrix in src/pol_function/X_dielectric_matrix.F

I am not sure what happens when the code does
call section(sec_mode,'Static Dielectric Matrix')
though.

Thanks,
Austin Liu

Dear Austin,
sorry for the delay, for some unknown reason I have not been notified by your posts.
Actually, the subroutine calculating the response function X (Eq.7) is X_redux.F.
Next, what is stored in ndb.em1s is vX. The delta function is then added when needed, depending on the run level.

Best,

Daniele
