Dear all, The mentioned equations are just for for ZnO, and they use some experimental values of the conductivity. However, the method can be replicated for other II-VI or III-V compounds. I would not dare to replicate it for a different class of material.
Computing directly the carrier lifetime is mainly a matter of eletron-phonon interactions and electron-defect interaction, and electron-hole recombination. All of them could be done with the help of Quantum ESPRESSO, using auxiliary codes, but I do not know any implementation to do it. I hope someone hast and cat share it.

Boltztrap give you as output file ( carrier concentration, conductivity/carrier lifetime) so by using this equation [1] you can calculate carrier lifetime [1]:K.P.Ong, D.J.Singh, P.Wu, Phys. Rev. B 83 (2011) 115110. carrier lifetime=2.53*(10^-5)*(T^-1)*(n^(-1/3)) [1] were T:temperatur, n: carrier concentration. and if u want calculate mobility use this equation : mobility=conductivity/(charge elementaire*carrier concentration) i think if you have this parameters you can calculate diffusion length.
