Dear Yambo Developers and Users,
I am having some issues understanding how to find the recombination rate. As per https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.100.075135 the radiactive rate for 2D is given by r_s(0) = (e^2*p_s^2)/(\epsilon_0*m^2*c*A*E_s(0)). Here, are the transition dipoles given by p_s = Maximum_Residual_Value*Stength (which are obtained in exc_qpt1_E_sorted file)? Also, what are the units of maximum residual values?

Looking forward for the reply. Thank you in advance.

Dear Ponappa,

In this thread
viewtopic.php?t=1947

you can find useful information for the calculation of radiative lifetime.

Dear Daniele,

Thank you for the suggestion, which was helpful. However, I still have some minor doubts regarding the dimension, which I posted in the earlier mentioned thread (viewtopic.php?t=1947). Looking forward for the response for the same.

Dear Ponappa,

I suggest you to write directly to the author of the paper (Maurizia Palummo) mentioning your post in the forum.

Best,

Daniele
