Dear Tapas Kar:
    In my opinion, you may need some analytical derivation after DFT 
calculations. I have calculated the semiclassical transport properties of the 
electrons in graphene. First, I calculated the band structure and 
electron-phonon interactions by PWSCF, and then I derived the transport 
properties using Boltzmann equation. Because the band structure of graphene is 
not complicated, it is not hard for me to understand the physics and calculate 
the transport properties. May these can be helpful to you. In addition, please 
put your own affiliation at the bottom of you email, because that is a 
netiquette.
Best Wishes!
L. F. Huang
