Rotation and reflection symmetries impose that out-of-plane (flexural) phonons of free-standing graphene membranes have a quadratic dispersion at long wavelength and can be excited by charge carriers in pairs only. As a result, we find that…

Phonon anomalies observed in various high $T_c$ cuprates by neutron experiments are analyzed theoretically in terms of the stripe concept. The phonon self-energy correction is evaluated by taking into account the charge collective modes of…

The phonon dispersions of $\mathrm{Nd_{1.86}Ce_{0.14}CuO_{4+\delta}}$ along the $[\xi,0,0]$ direction have been determined by inelastic x-ray scattering. Compared to the undoped parent compound, the two highest longitudinal phonon branches,…

Acoustic phonons have recently been posited as playing an integral role in explaining the half-quantized thermal Hall effect in $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$. Therefore, we present much needed inelastic x-ray scattering measurements of its acoustic…

We have measured the room-temperature phonon spectrum of Mo-stabilized $\gamma-$U. The dispersion curves show unusual softening near the H point, q=[1/2,1/2,1/2], which may derive from the metastability of the $\gamma-$U phase or from…

Strain tuning is a powerful experimental method in probing correlated electron systems. Here we study the strain response of the lattice dynamics and electronic structure in semiconductor Ta$_2$NiS$_5$ by polarization-resolved Raman…

We report Raman spectra and synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements of lattice parameters of polycrystalline MgB2 under hydrostatic pressure conditions up to 15 GPa. An anomalously broadened Raman band at 620 cm-1 is observed that…

Surface acoustic waves in two-dimensional phononic crystals consisting of a square array of shallow, two to three micron deep cylindrical void inclusions are studied computationally via the finite element method. For the [110] propagation…

We have studied the lattice dynamics, electron-phonon coupling, and superconducting properties of $\alpha$-MoB$_2$, as a function of applied pressure, within the framework of density functional perturbation theory using a mixed-basis…

Together with their fingerprint modes, molecules carry coherent vibrations of all their atoms (phonons). Phonon spectra extend from $\sim$20 to more than $10^{4}\,\mu$m, depending on molecular size. These spectra are discrete but large…

Density-functional calculations of the phonon spectrum and electron-phonon coupling in MgB$_2$ are presented. The $E_{2g}$ phonons, which involve in-plane B displacements, couple strongly to the $p_{x,y}$ electronic bands. The isotropic…

In two-dimensional materials, structure difference induces the difference in phonon dispersions, leading to the anisotropy of in-plane thermal transport. Here, we report an exceptional case in layered PdSe2, where the bonding, force…

The Raman spectrum of the $B_{1g}$ phonon in the superconducting cuprate materials is investigated theoretically in detail in both the normal and superconducting phases, and is contrasted with that of the $A_{1g}$ phonon. A mechanism…

Using high-energy-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering, we observe anomalous softening and damping of the transverse acoustic phonon in UPt$_2$Si$_2$ as the system is cooled towards the charge density wave (CDW) transition temperature,…

Interactions with electronic excitations can soften and/or broaden phonons. They are greatly amplified at wavevectors Q+- that connect parallel (nested) sheets of the Fermi surface. In such a case, called a Kohn anomaly, the phonon…

The dispersion of the longitudinal bond-stretching (BS) branches in superconducting Ba0.6K0.4BiO3 (BKBO) studied by inelastic neutron scattering reveals giant phonon anomalies. In the [110] and [111] directions these branches even split…

A microscopic theory of the phonon-induced resistance oscillations in weak perpendicular magnetic fields is presented. The calculations are based on the consideration of interaction of two-dimensional electrons with three-dimensional (bulk)…

We report first-principles frozen-phonon calculations for the determination of the force-free geometry and the dynamical matrix of the five Raman-active A1g modes in YBa2Cu3O7. To establish the shape of the phonon potentials atomic forces…

Collective excitations of coupled electron-phonon systems are calculated for both monolayer and bilayer graphene, taking into account the non-perturbative Coulomb coupling between electronic excitations in graphene and the substrate…

Weak localization has a strong influence on both the normal and superconducting properties of metals. In particular, since weak localization leads to the decoupling of electrons and phonons, the temperature dependence of resistance (i.e.,…
