We apply the time-dependent local density approximation (TDLDA) to calculate dipole excitations in small carbon clusters. A strong low-frequency mode is found which agrees well with observation for clusters C_n with n in the range 7-15. The…
Materials having strong coupling between different degrees of freedom such as spin, lattice, orbital, and charge are of immense interest due to their potential device applications. Here, we have stabilized the 9R phase of BaMnO3, by Sr (Ti)…
Experiments studying phonon mediated drag in the double layer two dimensional electron gas system are reported. Detailed measurements of the dependence of drag on temperature, layer spacing, density ratio, and matched density are discussed.…
The coupling between electrons and phonons plays important roles in physics, chemistry and biology. However, the accurate calculation of the electron-phonon coupling constants is computationally expensive as it involves solving the…
DFT-1/2 is an efficient band gap rectification method for density functional theory (DFT) under local density approximation (LDA) or generalized gradient approximation. It was suggested that non-self-consistent DFT-1/2 should be used for…
We present a method for calculating the electronic structure of correlated materials based on a truly first-principles LDA+U scheme. Recently we suggested how to calculate U from first-principles, using a method which we named constrained…
The coupling between electrons and phonons in solids plays a central role in describing many phenomena, including superconductivity and thermoelecric transport. Calculations of this coupling are exceedingly demanding as they necessitate…
In this work, we present a comparative first principles study of mechanical properties, electronic structure, phonon dispersion relation, electron-phonon coupling and magnetism in three isostructural superconductors, namely, ThFeAsN,…
The role of phonons in cuprates remains controversial, with their complex lattice structure complicating the investigation. Here, we identify phonon modes originating from charge reservoir and superconducting layers of…
I present a critical overview of so-called "{\it ab initio}" DFT (density fuctional theory) based calculation schemes for the description of the electronic structure, energy spectrum, and optical response for strongly correlated 3$d$…
Phonon frequencies at Gamma-point in non-magnetic rhombohedral phase of LaCoO3 were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) with hybrid exchange correlation functional PBE0. The calculations involved a comparison of results for two…
Ab initio based accurate simulation of phonon-assisted optical spectra of semiconductors at finite temperatures remains a formidable challenge, as it requires large supercells for phonon sampling and computationally expensive high-accuracy…
We treat resonant Raman scattering via the multiphonon exciton transitions in cylindrical quantum dots with a parabolic confinement in the lateral direction and with a finite rectangular interface-barrier confinement in the axial direction.…
The lattice dynamics of the $\rm YMnO_3$ magneto-electric compound has been investigated using density functional calculations, both in the ferroelectric and the paraelectric phases. The coherence between the computed and experimental data…
We use density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the lattice vibrations and electronic properties of the correlated metal LaNiO$_3$. To characterize the rhombohedral to cubic structural phase transition of perovskite LaNiO$_3$,…
Induced magnetic order in a topological insulator (TI) can be realized either by depositing magnetic adatoms on the surface of a TI or engineering the interface with epitaxial thin film or stacked assembly of two-dimensional (2D) van der…
Unlike in ordinary metals, in graphene, phonon structure can be seen in the quasiparticle electronic density of states, because the latter varies on the scale of the phonon energy. In a magnetic field, quantization into Landau levels…
The electronic structure of lanthanide and actinide compounds is often characterized by orbital ordering of localized $f$-electrons. Density-functional theory (DFT) studies of such systems using the currently available LDA+$U$ method are…

The alkali atoms, due to their small sizes and low charge ionic states, are most eligible to intercalate in the structural layers of V2O5. We have applied ab-initio density functional theory to study the dynamics of Li-ion in layers of…
