Dear Yambo Developers,

Is it possible to calculate phonon assisted optical properties in metal? It is impossible to calculate dielectric functions for metal with QE. The dvscf reports

Code: Select all

 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Error in routine phq_readin (1):
     no elec. field with metals
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

     stopping ...

Can we set "epsil=.false." in the dvscf calculation?

Thank you.

Best,
Jason
