Dear Adel,

For clarity, let me explain what I'd like to perform, via this paper: 
https://arxiv.org/pdf/0802.2761.pdf

What I'd like to calculate is the transmission of phonons, e.g. please see 
right subfigure of Fig. 1 in the paper. My plan is to calculate the Caroli 
formula (Eq. 57) in which the self energies and Green's functions are of 
phonons.

For example, rather than calculating the electron Green's function as 
G=[EI-H-sigma_L(E)-sigma_R(E)]^-1
I need to calculate the phonon Green's function as 
G=[w^2*I-K-sigma_L(w)-sigma_R(w)]^-1. Here K is the dynamical matrix, please 
see Eq. (2) in the paper above. I guess I'd need the surface Green's functions 
to calculate the self energies.

My question is whether doing all these is possible in Kwant or not? I tried to 
search the mail-list but couldn't encounter with anyone done that. So I thought 
maybe it is not doable at all and wanted to ask.

Would it be possible to calculate the transmission of phonons in Kwant by this 
way or any other?

Best,
Ran
