ELPH_SELFEN_GAPS = [logical]
Default: ELPH_SELFEN_GAPS = .false. 

Description: Find the direct and indirect gaps and the valence and conduction Kohn-Sham states that form it and select to compute their self-energy due to electron-phonon coupling.

Mind: Available as of VASP 6.5.0

This tag additionally activates the reporting of the value of the band-gap renormalization to the standard output, the OUTCAR file

 $ grep -A7 'KS-QP gap (meV)' OUTCAR

and the vaspout.h5 file under

 $ h5ls -r vaspout.h5 | grep gap_renorm
 /results/electron_phonon/electrons/self_energy_1/direct_gap_renorm
 /results/electron_phonon/electrons/self_energy_1/fundamental_gap_renorm`

This output is reported once for each electron-phonon accumulator.

If instead, the computation of the self-energy for a particular set of states is desired, those can be manually specified using a combination of ELPH_SELFEN_KPTS, ELPH_SELFEN_IKPT, ELPH_SELFEN_BAND_START and ELPH_SELFEN_BAND_STOP.
