ELPH_SELFEN_CARRIER_DEN = [real array]
Default: ELPH_SELFEN_CARRIER_DEN = 0.0 

Description: List of additional carrier densities in units of at which to compute the phonon-mediated electron self-energy and transport coefficients.

Mind: Available as of VASP 6.5.0

From each carrier density specified in the array, a positive (electron doping) or negative (hole doping) number of electrons is added to the value of NELECT and the chemical potential computed for the list of temperatures specified by ELPH_SELFEN_TEMPS.

For example, if ELPH_SELFEN_CARRIER_DEN = 1e+16 1e+17 1e+18 the Chemical potential section in the OUTCAR file might show something like

In the above tables, the number of elements in ELPH_SELFEN_CARRIER_DEN determines the number of columns, while the number of elements in ELPH_SELFEN_TEMPS determines the number of rows. Specifying more than one carrier density in ELPH_SELFEN_CARRIER_DEN creates additional electron-phonon accumulators.

Instead of specifying a carrier density, it is possible to explicitly specify the additional number of electrons to be added by using the ELPH_SELFEN_CARRIER_PER_CELL tag. Alternatively, one can specify the chemical potential directly and determine the carrier concentration using ELPH_SELFEN_MU.

The information related to the chemical potential calculation can be found under the Chemical potential calculation section in the OUTCAR.
