Hi James,

you'll have to be more specific in where it stops and what it tells you. 3 q 
points is awfully little, and I'd be surprised if you were converged.

For Si, an additional problem may be that you have an insulator (no really!). 
Since it finds no DOS at the Fermi level, it will output 0 (even if the gap 
is 
pretty small). In the wire case, I realize that things will be different, but 
keep it in mind and get the electron band structures first.

Eliashberg applicable is a shortcut too. The treatment of the Coulomb 
interaction is still primitive, and the effect should be much worse in 1D.

bye

Matthieu
