Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Using indium as a test case, we investigate the accuracy of the electron-phonon coupling calculated with state-of-the-art ab initio and many-body theory methods. The ab initio calculations—where electrons are treated in the local-density approximation, and phonons and the electron-phonon interaction are treated within linear response—predict an electron-phonon spectral function (Formula presented) that translates into a relative tunneling conductance that agrees with experiment to within one part in (Formula presented) The many-body theory calculations— where (Formula presented) is extracted from tunneling data by means of the McMillan-Rowell tunneling inversion method —provide spectral functions that depend strongly on details of the inversion process. For the most important moment of (Formula presented) the mass-renormalization parameter (Formula presented) we report (Formula presented) in contrast to the value 0.805 quoted for nearly three decades in the literature. The ab initio calculations also provide the transport electron-phonon spectral function (Formula presented) from which we calculate the resistivity as a function of temperature in good agreement with experiment. © 1998 The American Physical Society.
