Thank you sir for your kind response. My system is a metallic one where the
Fermi energy sifted towards conduction band due to doping. For details here
I am attaching the band structure. Do you think should I include drude
term? Kindly guide me to chose relaxation time for my system.

I am waiting for your suggestion.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely
Barnali
