Inelastic neutron scattering data from a twinned single-crystal of YBa2Cu3O6.95 are presented that show a distinct a-b plane anisotropy in the oxygen vibrations. The Cu-O bond-stretching type phonons are simultaneously observed along the a…
The dielectric properties of Bi$_2$Te$_3$, a layered compound crystallizing in a rhombohedral structure, are investigated by means of first-principles calculations at the random phase approximation level. A special attention is devoted to…
We use our recently proposed microscopic modeling in the framework of linear response theory to investigate the complete phonon dispersion, the phonon density of states, certain phonon-induced electronic charge distributions and charge…
We have studied the polarization dependence of coherent phonons in the topological insulator Bi2Te3. Using polarization-dependent femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy, we measured coherent phonons as a function of angle when the pump and…
Accurately predicting carrier mobility in strongly anharmonic solids necessitates a precise characterization of lattice dyndamics as a function of temperature. We achieve consistency with experimental electron mobility data for bulk…
A complete set of all optical phonon modes predicted by symmetry for bixbyite structure indium oxide is reported here from a combination of far-infrared and infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry, as well as first principle calculations.…
Lattice and spin excitations have been studied by Raman scattering in hexagonal YbMnO3 single crystals. The temperature dependences of the phonon modes show that the E2 mode at 256 cm-1 related to the displacement of Mn and O ions in a-b…
We report first principles density functional studies using plane wave basis sets and pseudopotentials and all electron linear augmented plane wave (LAPW) of the relative stability of various ferroelectric and antiferroelectric supercells…
Li ion diffusion is fundamentally a thermally activated ion hopping process. Recently, soft lattice, anharmonic phonon and paddlewheel mechanism have been proposed to potentially benefit the ion transport, while the understanding of…
We have studied the temperature dependence of spectroscopic ellipsometry spectra of an electrically insulating, nearly stoichiometric YTiO_3 single crystal with ferromagnetic Curie temperature T_C = 30 K. The optical response exhibits a…
The lattice dynamics of Ba$_2$CuGe$_2$O$_7$, a compound which develops Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) helical magnetism below $T_N$ = 3.2 K, has been studied by measuring the infrared reflectivity of a single crystal with the radiation polarized…
Raman spectroscopy experiments on single crystals of CuSb2O6 and CoSb2O6 quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnets with trirutile crystal structure were performed, with a focus on the first material. The observed Raman-active phonon modes and…
We report the results of an inelastic X-ray scattering study of the lattice dynamics in the paraelectric phase of the antiferroelectric lead hafnate PbHfO$_3$. The study reveals an avoided crossing between the transverse acoustic and…
Structural phase transitions and soft phonon modes pose a longstanding challenge to computing electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions in strongly anharmonic crystals. Here we develop a first-principles approach to compute e-ph scattering and…
Defects in oxides usually exhibit exotic properties that may be associated with the local lattice dynamics. Here, at atomic spatial resolution, we directly measure phonon modes of an antiphase boundary (APB) in SrTiO3 freestanding membrane…
Using first-principles calculations, the phonon frequencies at the $\Gamma$ point and the dielectric tensor are determined and analysed for the cubic and rhombohedral phases of BaTiO$_{3}$. The dipole-dipole interaction is then separated…
The origin of the functional properties of complex oxide superlattices can be resolved using time-resolved synchrotron x-ray diffraction into contributions from the component layers making up the repeating unit. The CaTiO3 layers of a…
The lattice dynamics of the $\rm YMnO_3$ magneto-electric compound has been investigated using density functional calculations, both in the ferroelectric and the paraelectric phases. The coherence between the computed and experimental data…
We present a comprehensive infrared spectroscopic study of lattice dynamics in the pnictide parent compound BaFe$_2$As$_2$. In the tetragonal structural phase, we observe the two degenerate symmetry-allowed in-plane infrared active phonon…
