We study the interaction of electrons with phonons in strongly correlated solids, having high-T_c cuprates in mind. Using sum-rules, we show that the apparent strength of this interaction strongly depends on the property studied. If the…
It is argued that the origin of the buckling of the CuO$_{2}$ planes in certain cuprates as well as the strong electron-phonon coupling of the $B_{1g}$ phonon is due to the electric field across the planes induced by atoms with different…
Phonons and magnons are engineered by periodic potential landscapes in phononic and magnonic crystals, and their combined studies may enable valley phonon transport tunable by the magnetic field. Through nonreciprocal surface acoustic wave…
When the electron-phonon coupling is quadratic in the phonon coordinates, electrons can pair to form bipolarons due to phonon zero-point fluctuations, a purely quantum effect. We study superconductivity originating from this pairing…

Whereas electron-phonon scattering typically relaxes the electron's momentum in metals, a perpetual exchange of momentum between phonons and electrons conserves total momentum and can lead to a coupled electron-phonon liquid with unique…
Electronic screening strongly renormalizes the linear bands which occur near the Dirac crossing in graphene. The single bare Dirac crossing is split into two individual Dirac-like points, which are separated in energy but still at zero…
