Dear Developers and Users,

I am using QE to get the vibrational modes and electron-vibrational coupling 
matrix elements (analogue of electron-phonon coupling matrix elements) for PAH 
molecules (say benzene).

I used supercell and gamma only calculation. I want to print the raw 
electron-phonon coupling matrix elements gij-(band and mode resolved) to use 
them in first order correction to the wavefunction formula (equation 19), 
attached the link to pdf .

In QE 7.1, one of the developers H.Lee has made a modified version of ph.x in 
the directory "test-suite/not_epw_comp", which prints the g values in standard 
output (for comparison with epw) as:


ibnd     jbnd     imode   enk[eV]    enk+q[eV]  omega(q)[meV]   |g|[meV]

These g values are not raw, (some square modulus thing is happening in the 
source code "supp.f90'), and evetually it prints absolute |g| which loose phase 
information.


Is there a way to get raw electron-vibrational coupling matrix elements as:


ibnd     jbnd     imode   enk[eV]    enk+q[eV]  omega(q)[meV]   Real_g [meV]  
Im_g[meV]


Going to PH/elphon.f90 and modifying the source code to print the raw values 
has been suggested previosuly ( a thread from Fri, 14 Mar 2014), where user get 
errors. If someone knows how to get the raw coupling matrix elements, please 
reply.


Best wishes,
