## v0.5.0

5+
This version introduces a major bugfix in the calculation of wavefunction overlaps. This can alter transport properties for systems where the band edge is located at a reciprocal zone-boundary and the dominant scattering type is from polar optical phonons. Thanks to Øven Grimenes for idenitfying this bug and contributing a fix.

A new feature has been provided to include non analytical corrections (NAC) in the calculation of the polar optical phonon frequency. More information is provided in the [online documentation](https://hackingmaterials.lbl.gov/amset/inputs/#dielectric-constants-piezoelectric-constants-and-polar-phonon-frequency). Thanks to Sara Shivalingam Goud for providing this feature.

**Non-Analytical Term Correction (NAC) for Polar Materials**
127127

128-
In polar materials, LO-TO splitting in the phonon dispersion is significant, and to observe this in phonon dispersion, we have to add a non-analytical term correction (NAC) to the dynamical matrix and re-calculate the phonon frequencies. This treatment is done automatically inside VASP using the [LPHON_POLAR = .TRUE.](https://www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/LPHON_POLAR) tag and specifying the dielectric tensor using [PHON_DIELECTRIC](https://www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/PHON_DIELECTRIC) tag along with the Born effective charges using [PHON_BORN_CHARGES](https://www.vasp.at/wiki/index.php/PHON_BORN_CHARGES) tag. This step should be performed after obtaining the Born effective charges and dielectric constants from a previous DFPT calculation.
