Knowledge of lattice anharmonicity is essential to elucidate distinctive thermal properties in crystalline solids. Yet, accurate \textit{ab initio} investigations of lattice anharmonicity encounter difficulties owing to the cumbersome…

Negative refraction of coherent phonons is crucial for thermal management and quantum information processing, but it remains unrealized because achieving the suitable dispersion for negative refraction simultaneously with long-range…

Phonons are universal language for solid state theory. Effective phonon theory (self-consistent harmonic approximation) have been extensively used to access the weakly nonlinear effect in solid materials, which are standard content in…

We investigate the excitation of phonons in photoexcited antimony and demonstrate that the entire electron-lattice interactions, in particular coherent and incoherent electron-phonon coupling, can be probed simultaneously. Using femtosecond…

On the basis of the self-consistent phonon theory and the special displacement method, we develop an approach for the treatment of anharmonicity in solids. We show that this approach enables the efficient calculation of…

Based on a detailed symmetry analysis, we state the general rules to build up the effective low energy field theory describing a system of electrons weakly interacting with the lattice degrees of freedom. The basic elements in our…

We propose a variational approach to study renormalized phonons in momentum conserving nonlinear lattices with either symmetric or asymmetric potentials. To investigate the influence of pressure to phonon properties, we derive an inequality…

We present a relativistic effective field theory for the interaction between acoustic and gapped phonons in the limit of a small gap. We show that, while the former are the Goldstone modes associated with the spontaneous breaking of…

Magnetophononics, the modulation of magnetic interactions by driving infrared-active lattice excitations, is emerging as a key mechanism for the ultrafast dynamical control of both semiclassical and quantum spin systems by coherent light.…

We review our recent development of a first-principles lattice dynamics method that can treat anharmonic effects nonperturbatively. The method is based on the self-consistent phonon theory and temperature-dependent phonon frequencies can be…

We explore the quasiparticle properties of lattice polarons on the basis of a quite general electron-phonon Hamiltonian with a long-range displacement-type of interaction. To treat the dynamical quantum phonons without significant loss of…

The exposure to intense electromagnetic radiation can induce distortions and symmetry breaking in the crystal structure of solids, providing a route for the all-optical control of their properties. In this manuscript, we formulate a unified…

Femtosecond optical pulses at mid-infrared frequencies have opened up the nonlinear control of lattice vibrations in solids. So far, all applications have relied on second order phonon nonlinearities, which are dominant at field strengths…

We provide evidence of strongly confined coherent acoustic phonons inside high quality factor phononic cavities that exhibit tailoredphonon potentials. Using GaAs/AlAs quasiperiodic superlattices, these functional phonon potentials are…

Coherent manipulation of magnetism through the lattice provides unprecedented opportunities for controlling spintronic functionalities on the ultrafast timescale. Such nonthermal control conventionally involves nonlinear excitation of…

We propose a new optimized phonon approach for the numerical diagonalization of interacting electron-phonon systems combining density-matrix and Lanczos algorithms. We demonstrate the reliablity of this approach by calculating the phase…

We apply standard, first-principles calculations to a complete treatment of lattice dynamics in the harmonic approximation. The algorithm makes use of the straightforward ``frozen-phonon'' approach to the calculation of vibrational spectra…

Engineering of phonons, i.e., collective lattice vibrations in crystals, is essential for manipulating physical properties of materials such as thermal transport, electron-phonon interaction, confinement of lattice vibration, and optical…

An accurate and easily extendable method to deal with lattice dynamics of solids is offered. It is based on first-principles molecular dynamics simulations and provides a consistent way to extract the best possible harmonic - or higher…

We analyse non-equilibrium transport properties of a single-state molecular quantum dot coupled to a local phonon and contacted by two electrodes. We derive the effective non-equilibrium (Keldysh) action for the phonon mode and study the…
