Ab initio downfolding describes the electronic structure of materials within a low-energy subspace, often around the Fermi level. Typically starting from mean-field calculations, this framework allows for the calculation of one- and…
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…
We propose a fully $ \textit{ab initio} $ approach to predicting thermal attenuation in elastic helium atom scattering amplitudes, validated through strong agreement with experiments on Nb(100) and (3$\times$1)-O/Nb(100) surfaces. Our…
We present an extension of the tunneling theory for scanning tunneling microcopy (STM) to include different types of vibrational-electronic couplings responsible for inelastic contributions to the tunnel current in the strong-coupling…

Spectral distribution functions of electron-phonon interaction $\alpha^2F(\omega )$ obtained by ab initio linear--response calculations are used to describe various superconducting and transport properties in a number of elemental metals…
We report tunneling measurements of the electron-phonon (e-ph) interaction in superconducting MgB$_2$ using the MgB$_2$-I-Nb junctions, where I stands for insulator. The phonon structure in tunneling density of states in MgB$_2$ clearly…
We simulate spectral functions for electron-phonon coupling in a filled band system - far from the asymptotic limit often assumed where the phonon energy is very small compared to the Fermi energy in a parabolic band and the Migdal theorem…
We present a new method of extracting electron-boson spectral function $\alpha^2$F($\omega$) from infrared and photoemission data. This procedure is based on inverse theory and will be shown to be superior to previous techniques. Numerical…
The McMillan-Rowell tunneling inversion program, which extracts the electron-phonon spectral function $\alpha^2F(\Omega)$ and the Coulomb pseudopotential $\mu^*$ from experimental tunneling data, is generalized to include the lowest-order…
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…
A method is proposed for the inclusion of electron correlation in the calculation of the temperature dependence of band structures arising from electron-phonon coupling. It relies on an efficient exploration of the vibrational phase space…
The electron-phonon interaction plays a crucial role in many fields of physics and chemistry. Nevertheless, its actual calculation by means of modern many-body perturbation theory is weakened by the use of model Hamiltonians that are based…
We present a theoretical framework to describe polarons from first principles within a many-body Green's function formalism. Starting from a general electron-phonon Hamiltonian, we derive a self-consistent Dyson equation in which the…
Observed optical reflectivity in the infrared spectral region is compared with theoretical predictions in a strongly coupled electron-phonon system. Starting from a Froehlich Hamiltonian, the spectral functions and their temperature…
Our objective is to study resonant tunneling of an electron in the presence of inelastic scattering by optical phonons. Using a recently developed technique, based on exact mapping of a many-body problem onto a one-body problem, we compute…
We formulate an ab initio downfolding scheme for electron-phonon coupled systems. In this scheme, we calculate partially renormalized phonon frequencies and electron-phonon coupling, which include the screening effects of high-energy…

We show that hole states in recently discovered single-layer InSe are strongly renormalized by the coupling with acoustic phonons. The coupling is enhanced significantly at moderate hole doping ($\sim$10$^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$) due to hexagonal…
