The calculation of electron-phonon couplings from first principles is computationally very challenging and remains mostly out of reach for systems with a large number of atoms. Resorting to semi-empirical methods, like density-functional based tight-binding (DFTB), has been shown to be a viable approach for obtaining quantitative results at moderate computational costs. In this contribution, we present a method for calculating the electron-phonon coupling matrix within the DFTB approach and demonstrate its implementation which is based on dftb+ and phonopy. It further allows the calculation of relaxation times and interfaces with BoltzTrap2 to compute transport properties. Exemplarily, we show results for γ-graphyne which was recently synthesized. Consistent with earlier predictions we obtain mobilities on the order of 104 cm2 V−1 s−1 at room temperature.
