Quasi-particle corrections with different k-points grid

Post by javad » Wed Apr 22, 2020 9:31 pm

Dear Yambo developpers

is it possible to calculate with Yambo the quasi-particle correction with a k-points grid,
and then use it in another calculation with a different k-points grid? (same number of bands).
Is Yambo able to interpolate it?

Dear Javad,
what you can do is to use the screening calculated with a certain grid q to calculate the correction to different k points on a "compatible" grid.
How to do that is reported in the link indicated in the FAQ:
*Can I calculate GW correction on an arbitrary point of the Brillouin zone with Yambo?
