In this paper we investigate from first principles the effect of the electron-phonon interaction in two paradigmatic nanostructures: trans-polyacetylene and polyethylene. We found that the strong electron-phonon interaction leads to the…

The femtosecond optical pump-probe technique was used to study dynamics of photoexcited electrons and coherent optical phonons in transition metals Zn and Cd as a function of temperature and excitation level. The optical response in time…

We present a method to efficiently combine the computation of electron-electron and electron-phonon self-energies, which enables the evaluation of electron-phonon coupling at the $G_0W_0$ level of theory for systems with hundreds of atoms.…

Phonon anharmonicity is ubiquitous in real materials and is crucial for understanding thermal properties and phase stability. In this work, we show that anharmonic phonon modes can be obtained by maximizing their vibration stability during…

We construct a many-body model Hamiltonian to capture how phonons renormalize exciton binding as a function of temperature. By using the GW approximation and density functional perturbation theory, we are able to parameterize this…

Effects of electron-phonon interactions on the band structure can be experimentally investigated in detail by measuring the temperature dependence of energy gaps or critical points (van Hove singularities) of the optical excitation spectra.…

We report a fully {\it ab-initio} calculation of the temperature dependence of the electronic band structure of PbTe. We address two main features relevant for the thermoelectric figure of merit: the temperature variations of the direct gap…

Electronic Raman scattering and optical phonon self-energies are studied on single crystals of $LuB_{12}$ with different isotopic composition in the temperature region 10-650K and at pressures up to 10 GPa. The shape and energy position of…

The phonon and electronic properties, the Eliashberg function and the temperature dependence of resistance of electride Ca2N are investigated by the DFT-LDA plane-wave method. The phonon dispersion, the partial phonon density of states and…

For the orthorhombic intermetallic semiconductor Al$_2$Ru, the bandstructure, valence charge density, zone center optical phonon frequencies, and Born effective charge and electronic dielectric tensors are calculated using variational…

The evolution of the properties of a finite density electronic system as the electron-phonon coupling is increased are investigated in the Holstein model using the Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT). We compare the spinless fermion case, in…

While the thermoelectric figure of merit zT above 300K has seen significant improvement recently, the progress at lower temperatures has been slow, mainly limited by the relatively low Seebeck coefficient and high thermal conductivity. Here…

The decay time of the linear polarization degree of the luminescence in strongly confined semiconductor quantum dots with asymmetrical shape is calculated in the frame of second-order quasielastic interaction between quantum dot charge…

Relying on the anharmonic special displacement method, we introduce an ab initio quasistatic polymorphous framework to describe local disorder, anharmonicity, and electron-phonon coupling in superionic conductors. Using the example of cubic…

We have combined the Boltzmann transport equation with an {\it ab initio} approach to compute the thermoelectric coefficients of semiconductors. Electron-phonon, ionized impurity, and electron-plasmon scattering rates have been taken into…

Recently, Zacharias et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 177401 (2015)] developed a new ab initio theory of temperature-dependent optical absorption spectra and band gaps in semiconductors and insulators. In that work the zero-point renormalization…

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 thermodynamic and spectral properties of electrons coupled to quantum phonons are studied within the spinless Holstein model. Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we obtain accurate results for the specific heat and the…

Silver chalcohalide antiperovskites (CAP), Ag$_{3}$XY (X = S, Se; Y = Br, I), are a family of highly anharmonic inorganic compounds with great potential for energy applications. However, a substantial and unresolved discrepancy exists…

Migdal-Eliashberg theory describes the properties of the normal and superconducting states of electron-phonon mediated superconductors based on a perturbative treatment of the electron-phonon interactions. It is necessary to include both…
