Motivated by the absence of experimental superconductivity in the metallic Pm-3n phase of AlH3 despite the predictions, we reanalyze its vibrational and superconducting properties at pressures above 99 GPa making use of first-principles…
The dispersion in the entire Brillouin zone and the temperature dependence (right up to the melting temperature) of the anharmonic frequency shift and phonon damping in a number of fcc metals is investigated on the basis of microscopic…
In this study, we systematically investigate the thermal and electronic transport properties of two-dimensional PbSe/PbTe monolayer heterostructure by combining first-principles calculations, Boltzmann transport theory, and machine learning…
The anharmonicity of the acoustic phonon dispersion of graphene has been studied by the harmonic linear response (HLR) approach at finite temperature. This is a non-perturbative method based on the linear response of the system to applied…
The temperature-dependent effective potential (TDEP) method for anharmonic phonon dispersion is generalized to the full potential case by combining with path integral formalism. This extension naturally resolves the intrinsic difficulty in…
In ferroelectric materials, an electric field has been shown to change the phonon dispersion sufficiently to alter the lattice thermal conductivity, opening the possibility that a heat gradient could drive a polarization flux, and…
Understanding the anharmonic phonon properties of crystal compounds -- such as phonon lifetimes and thermal conductivities -- is essential for investigating and optimizing their thermal transport behaviors. These properties also impact…
We investigate the temperature dependence of the frequency and linewidth of the triply-degenerate T$_{2g}$ zone-centered optical phonon in flux-grown ceria and hydrothermally-synthesized thoria single crystals from room temperature to 1273…
We study the impact of phonon anharmonicity on the electronic dynamics of soft materials using a nonperturbative quantum-classical approach. The method is applied to a one-dimensional model of doped organic semiconductors with low-frequency…
We systematically demonstrate the temperature-dependent thermal transport properties in crystalline Ge$_2$Sb$_2$Te$_5$via first-principles density functional theory-informed linearized Boltzmann transport equation. The investigation,…
We determine the impact of anharmonic thermal vibrations on the fundamental band gap of CsPbBr$_3$, a prototypical model system for the broader class of halide perovskite semiconductors. Through first-principles molecular dynamics and…
IV-VI materials are some of the most efficient bulk thermoelectric materials due to their proximity to soft-mode phase transitions, which leads to low lattice thermal conductivity. It has been shown that the lattice thermal conductivity of…
Prior experimental studies showed that nanowires are promising structures for improving the thermoelectric performance of practical thermoelectric materials due to the strongly induced phonon-boundary scattering. However, few studies…
We explore a novel coupling mechanism of electrons with the transverse optical (TO) phonon branch in a regime when the TO mode becomes highly anharmonic and drives the ferroelectric phase transition. We show that this anharmonicity, which…
The proximity to structural phase transitions in IV-VI thermoelectric materials is one of the main reasons for their large phonon anharmonicity and intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity $\kappa$. However, the $\kappa$ of GeTe…
The thermal properties of materials are critically important to various technologies and are increasingly the target of materials design efforts. However, it is only relatively recent advances in first-principles computational techniques…
Detailed understanding of vibrational heat transfer mechanisms between solids is essential for the efficient thermal engineering and control of nanomaterials. We investigate the frequency dependence of anharmonic scattering and interfacial…
We examine the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity of one dimensional nonlinear (anharmonic) lattices with and without on-site potential. It is found from computer simulation that the heat conductivity depends on temperature via…
Anharmonic lattice vibrations play a key role in many physical phenomena. They govern the heat conductivity of solids, strongly affect the phonon spectra, play a prominent role in soft mode phase transitions, allow ultrafast engineering of…
The thermal conductivity of boron arsenide (BAs) is believed to be influenced by phonon scattering selection rules due to its special phonon dispersion. Compression of BAs leads to significant changes in phonon dispersion, which allows for…
