The adiabatic Born-Oppenheimer approximation is considered to be a robust approach that very rarely breaks down. Consequently, it is predominantly utilized to address various electron-phonon properties in condensed matter physics. By…

We report evidence of a non-adiabatic Kohn anomaly in boron-doped diamond, using a joint theoretical and experimental analysis of the phonon dispersion relations. We demonstrate that standard calculations of phonons using density functional…

We present the full in-plane phonon dispersion of graphite obtained from inelastic x-ray scattering, including the optical and acoustic branches, as well as the mid-frequency range between the $K$ and $M$ points in the Brillouin zone, where…

Kohn anomalies are kinks or dips in phonon dispersions which are pronounced in low-dimensional materials. We investigate the effects of non-adiabatic phonon self-energy on Kohn anomalies in one-dimensional metals by developing a model that…

Digital video-microscopy measurements are reported of both elastic bandstructures and overdamped phonon decay times in two-dimensional colloidal crystals. Both quantities together allow to determine the friction coefficients along various…

In conventional \textit{ab initio} methodologies, phonons are calculated by solving equations of motion involving static interatomic force constants and atomic masses. The Born-Oppenheimer approximation, where all electronic degrees of…

We present two developments for the numerical integration of a function over the Brillouin zone. First, we introduce a nonuniform grid, which we refer to as the Farey grid, that generalizes regular grids. Second, we introduce…

We develop the theory of the non-adiabatic phonon self-energy arising from coupling to electrons with finite linewidths using the spectral representation of Green's functions. Our formalism naturally includes the contribution from the…

We compute the anharmonic shift of the phonon frequencies in MgB2, using density functional theory. We explicitly take into account the scattering between different phonon modes at different q-points in the Brillouin zone. The shift of the…

We determine the anisotropic dielectric functions of rhombohedral $\alpha$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ by far-infrared and infrared generalized spectroscopic ellipsometry and derive all transverse optical and longitudinal optical phonon mode frequencies…

We present result of calculations of the surface phonon dispersion curves for Pt(110) using density functional theory in the local density approximation and norm conserving pseudopotentials in a mixed-basis approach. Linear response theory…

We observe anharmonic decay of the photoexcited coherent A1g phonon in bismuth to points in the Brillouin zone where conservation of momentum and energy are satisfied for three-phonon scattering. The decay of a coherent phonon can be…

We report ab-inito density functional theory calculation of phonons in cubic phase of ZrW2O8 in the entire Brillouin zone and identify specific anharmonic phonons that are responsible for large negative thermal expansion (NTE) in terms of…

First-principles calculations of phonons are often based on the adiabatic approximation and on Brillouin-zone samplings that might not always be sufficient to capture the subtleties of Kohn anomalies. These shortcomings can be addressed…

We present a scheme for the improved description of the long-range interatomic force constants in a more accurate way than the procedure which is commonly used within plane-wave based density-functional perturbation-theory calculations. Our…

Superconducting MgB$\_2$ shows an E$\_{2g}$ zone center phonon, as measured by Raman spectroscopy, that is very broad in energy and temperature dependent. The Raman shift and lifetime show large differences with the values elsewhere in the…

Phonon properties of realistic materials are routinely calculated within the Density Functional Perturbation Theory\,(DFPT). This is a semi--classical approach where the atoms are assumed to oscillate along classical trajectories immersed…

We report an inelastic neutron scattering investigation of phonons with energies up to 159 meV in the conventional superconductor YNi$_2$B$_2$C. Using the SWEEP mode, a newly developed time-of-flight technique involving the continuous…

We report the first Raman scattering measurements of BaC$_6$, SrC$_6$, and YbC$_6$, which along with new data on CaC$_6$, permits a systematic study of the phonons and the electron-phonon interaction within the doped graphene layers of…

We employ the diagrammatic Monte Carlo method based on lattice path-integral representaion of the particle sector and real-space diagrammatics of the phonon sector to study effects of optical phonon dispersion on Bose-Einstein condensation…
