Dear Prof. Blaha and Wien2k users,

I am trying to calculate the Fermi surface properties, like Fermi
velocity, conductivity and plasma frequency.
Many people calculated these properties for each band, and they have
reported the values (PRB,73(2006)205102.).
I want to calculate the same properties.
I am not able to calculate these properties.
Can any one suggest me to calculate the above mentioned properties?

Try the BOLTZTRAP code (link from "unsupported software").

Hello,

I put my memo taken when I installed BoltzTraP.
-------------
1. Make a folder in wherever one like.

2. Make (or Copy) the case.intrans, case.struct, case.energy (or
case.energyso if the calculation includes spin-orbit) in the folder.

3. Name the files to the same of the folder.

4. Change the case.intrans
4-1. Fermi Energy
4-2. NOCALC --> CALC

5. On the terminal, execute `x_trans' with the option `-c' and `-so (if
the calculation includes spin-orbit)'.
(Command:`.../boltztrap-1.2.1/src/x_trans BoltzTraP -c -so')

6. Several files are generated:
case.trace --> main results
case.condtens --> conductivity tensor?
case.halltens --> hall tensor?
case.transdos --> DOS of each spin?

7. From the case.trace, pick up `s/t' (s/t=n*e^2/m).

8. SUPPOSING the spheric Fermi surface, calculate kF=(3*pi^2*n)^(1/3)
and vF=hbar*kF/m.
--------------

All we have to know beforehand is the effective mass of electrons. I
don't know other
way, which is more smart and sophisticated ones, and I believe you know
when the supposition fails.

If someone knows more appropriate way, I'm happy if the person post it.

Best,
Gaku Eguchi
