We study transport through a double quantum dot system in which each quantum dot is coupled to a phonon mode. Such a system can be realized, e.g., using a suspended carbon nanotube. We find that the interplay between strong electron-phonon…
The electron-phonon coupling in ultrafast heating systems is studied within the framework of Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) with coupled electron and phonon transport. A discrete unified gas kinetic scheme is developed to solve the BTE,…
The electron temperature dependent electron density of states, Fermi-Dirac distribution, and electron-phonon spectral function are computed as prerequisites before achieving effective electron-phonon coupling factor. The obtained coupling…
We have developed a first-principles method to calculate the electron-phonon coupling for specific modes and q-points in the Brillouin Zone for crystalline organic semiconductors. Using the obtained coupling strengths, we propose an…
In this paper, we investigate the quantum transport of a double quantum dot coupled with a nanomechanical resonator at arbitrary strong electron-phonon coupling regimes. We employ the generalized quantum master equation to study full…
We present a combined treatment of the non-equilibrium dynamics and transport of electrons and phonons by carrying out \textit{ab initio} calculations of the fully coupled electron and phonon Boltzmann transport equations. We find that the…
Linear magnon-phonon coupling hybridizes magnon and phonon bands at the same energy and momentum, resulting in an anticrossing signature.This hybrid quasiparticle benefits from a long phonon lifetime and efficient magnon transport, showing…
Recent discovery of new materials for thermoelectric energy conversion is enabled by efficient prediction of materials' performance from first-principles, without empirically fitted parameters. The novel simplified approach for computing…
Wannier interpolation is a powerful tool for performing Brillouin zone integrals over dense grids of $\mathbf{k}$ points, which are essential to evaluate such quantities as the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity or Boltzmann transport…
We present an ab-initio density-functional-theory approach for calculating electron-phonon interactions within the projector augmented-wave method. The required electron-phonon matrix elements are defined as the second derivative of the…
Using a computationally inexpensive frozen phonon approach we have developed a technique which can be used to screen large unit cell materials and systems for enhanced superconducting critical temperatures. The method requires only density…
Spin-orbit interaction is an important vehicle for spin relaxation. At finite temperature lattice vibrations modulate the spin-orbit interaction and thus generate a mechanism for spin-phonon coupling, which needs to be incorporated in any…
We use first-principles methods to study doped strong ferroelectrics (taking BaTiO$_3$ as a prototype). Here we find a strong coupling between itinerant electrons and soft polar phonons in doped BaTiO$_3$, contrary to Anderson/Blount's…
This article reviews the theory of electron-phonon interactions in solids from the point of view of ab-initio calculations. While the electron-phonon interaction has been studied for almost a century, predictive non-empirical calculations…
he formation of the optical polaron and bipolaron in two-dimensional (2D) systems are studied in the intermediate electron-phonon coupling regime. The total energies of 2D polaron and bipolaron are calculated by using the Buimistrov-Pekar…
Computing electron-defect (e-d) interactions from first principles has remained impractical due to computational cost. Here we develop an interpolation scheme based on maximally localized Wannier functions (WFs) to efficiently compute e-d…
We have constructed maximally-localized Wannier functions for prototype structures of solid molecular hydrogen under pressure, starting from LDA and tight-binding Bloch wave functions. Each occupied Wannier function can be associated with…
We develop a theoretical and computational framework to study polarons in semiconductors and insulators from first principles. Our approach provides the formation energy, excitation energy, and wavefunction of both electron and hole…
Motivated by the recent experimental discovery of strongly surface-plane-dependent superconductivity at surfaces of KTaO$_3$ single crystals, we calculate the electron-phonon coupling strength, $\lambda$, of doped KTaO$_3$ along the…
\textit{Ab initio} calculations of electron-phonon interactions including the polar Fr\"ohlich coupling have advanced considerably in recent years. The Fr\"ohlich electron-phonon matrix element is by now well understood in the case of bulk…
