    This module provides classes to run and analyze boltztrap on pymatgen band
    structure objects. Boltztrap is a software interpolating band structures and
    computing materials properties from this band structure using Boltzmann
    semi-classical transport theory.

    Boltztrap has been developed by Georg Madsen.

                    A band structure object
                nelec:
                    the number of electrons
                dos_type:
                    two options for the band structure integration: "HISTO"
                    (histogram) or "TETRA" using the tetrahedon method. TETRA
                    typically gives better results (especially for DOSes)
                    but takes more time
                energy_grid:
                    the energy steps used for the integration (eV)
                lpfac:
                    the number of interpolation points in the real space. By
                    default 10 gives 10 time more points in the real space than
                    the number of kpoints given in reciprocal space
                run_type:
                    type of boltztrap usage. by default
                    - BOLTZ: (default) compute transport coefficients
                    - BANDS: interpolate all bands contained in the energy range
                    specified in energy_span_around_fermi variable, along specified
                    k-points
                    - DOS: compute total and partial dos (custom BoltzTraP code
                    needed!)
                    - FERMI: compute fermi surface or more correctly to
                    get certain bands interpolated
                band_nb:
                    indicates a band number. Used for Fermi Surface interpolation
                    (run_type="FERMI")
                spin:
                    specific spin component (1: up, -1: down) of the band selected
                    in FERMI mode (mandatory).
                cond_band:
                    if a conduction band is specified in FERMI mode,
                    set this variable as True
                tauref:
                    reference relaxation time. Only set to a value different than
                    zero if we want to model beyond the constant relaxation time.
                tauexp:
                    exponent for the energy in the non-constant relaxation time
                    approach
                tauen:
                    reference energy for the non-constant relaxation time approach
                soc:
                    results from spin-orbit coupling (soc) computations give
                    typically non-polarized (no spin up or down) results but single
                    electron occupations. If the band structure comes from a soc
                    computation, you should set soc to True (default False)
                doping:
                    the fixed doping levels you want to compute. Boltztrap provides
                    both transport values depending on electron chemical potential
                    (fermi energy) and for a series of fixed carrier
                    concentrations. By default, this is set to 1e16 to 1e22 in
                    increments of factors of 10.
                energy_span_around_fermi:
                    usually the interpolation is not needed on the entire energy
                    range but on a specific range around the fermi level.
                    This energy gives this range in eV. by default it is 1.5 eV.
                    If DOS or BANDS type are selected, this range is automatically
                    set to cover the entire energy range.
                scissor:
                    scissor to apply to the band gap (eV). This applies a scissor
                    operation moving the band edges without changing the band
                    shape. This is useful to correct the often underestimated band
                    gap in DFT. Default is 0.0 (no scissor)
                kpt_line:
                    list of fractional coordinates of kpoints as arrays or list of
                    Kpoint objects for BANDS mode calculation (standard path of
                    high symmetry k-points is automatically set as default)
                tmax:
                    Maximum temperature (K) for calculation (default=1300)
                tgrid:
                    Temperature interval for calculation (default=50)
                symprec: 1e-3 is the default in pymatgen. If the kmesh has been
                    generated using a different symprec, it has to be specified
                    to avoid a "factorization error" in BoltzTraP calculation.
                    If a kmesh that spans the whole Brillouin zone has been used,
                    or to disable all the symmetries, set symprec to None.
                cb_cut: by default 10% of the highest conduction bands are
                    removed because they are often not accurate.
                    Tune cb_cut to change the percentage (0-100) of bands
                    that are removed.
                timeout: overall time limit (in seconds): mainly to avoid infinite
                    loop when trying to find Fermi levels.
