In this work, we systematically investigate the spectral and transport properties of exciton-polaritons under the explicit influence of intermolecular vibrational coupling, which introduces dynamic disorder. In the context of a…
We calculate the current-voltage characteristic of metallic nanotubes at high bias voltage showing that a bottleneck exists for short nanotubes in contrast to large ones. We attribute this to a redistribution of lower-lying acoustic phonons…
Properties of phonons - quanta of the crystal lattice vibrations - in graphene have attracted strong attention of the physics and engineering communities. Acoustic phonons are the main heat carriers in graphene near room temperature while…
We study the variations of electron-phonon coupling and their spectroscopic consequences in response to sliding of two layers in bilayer graphene using first-principles calculations and a model Hamiltonian. Our study shows that the long…
We have investigated a new feature of impurity cyclotron resonances common to various localized potentials of graphene. A localized potential can interact with a magnetic field in an unexpected way in graphene. It can lead to formation of…
We present a minimal theory of superconductivity enhancement in ferroelectric-type materials. Simple expressions for the optical mode responsible for the soft mode transition are assumed. A key role is played by the anharmonic phonon…
Out-of-plane vibrations are considered as the dominant factor limiting the intrinsic carrier mobility of suspended two-dimensional materials at low carrier concentrations. Anharmonic coupling between in-plane and flexural phonon modes is…
Because electrons and ions form a coupled system, it is a priori clear that the dynamics of the lattice should reflect symmetry breaking within the electronic degrees of freedom. This has been recently clearly evidenced for the case of…
We have implemented a generic method, based on the 2n+1 theorem within density functional perturbation theory, to calculate the anharmonic scattering coefficients among three phonons with arbitrary wavevectors. The method is used to study…
We introduce a variational wave-function to study the polaron formation when the electronic transfer integral depends on the relative displacement between nearest-neighbor sites giving rise to a non-local electron-phonon coupling with…
We describe light scattering from a graphene sheet having a modulated optical conductivity. We show that such modulation enables the excitation of surface plasmon-polaritons by an electromagnetic wave impinging at normal incidence. The…
Inorganic clathrates such as Ba$_8$Ga$_{x}$Ge$_{46-x}$ and Ba$_8$Al$_{x}$Si$_{46-x}$ commonly exhibit very low thermal conductivities. A quantitative computational description of this important property has proven difficult, in part due to…
In order to clarify that the Cooper pair in $\beta$-pyrochlore oxides is mediated by anharmonic oscillation of guest atom, i.e., rattling, we propose an experiment to detect anomalous isotope effect. In the formula of $T_{\rm c} \propto…
In contrast to the claim by Yanagi et al. in Ref. [1], the development of orbital fluctuations at $q ~ 0$ due to the "orthorhombic phonon" is unable to explain the high-Tc superconductivity in iron pnictides. The reason is that the…
Polar phonons can induce electric fields in an adjacent layer, whether non-polar or polar, producing remote phonon scattering of electrons. Treatment of remote phonon scattering has been based on the dielectric continuum model which takes…
Interatomic potentials beyond quadratic order provide scattering sources for phonon transport in lattice. By using a weakly-interacting interface model, we investigated the relation between the order of interatomic potential and the…
Polaron formation following optical absorption is a key process that defines the photophysical properties of many semiconducting transition metal oxides, which comprise an important class of materials with potential optoelectronic and…
Recent progress in optomechanical systems may soon allow the realization of optomechanical arrays, i.e. periodic arrangements of interacting optical and vibrational modes. We show that photons and phonons on a honeycomb lattice will produce…
We investigate polariton-phonon hybrid excitations, which describe the collective excitations of emitter-photon polaritons and vibrational phonons, in a periodic array of vibrating two-level emitters interacting with waveguide photons. We…
We establish that ultralow lattice thermal conductivity in halide perovskites and related octahedral framework materials arises from two distinct and complementary mechanisms: (i) halogen-halogen-enabled rotational soft modes that reshape…
