چکیده
Electron-phonon coupling in $\mathrm{Zr}{\mathrm{Co}}_{2}\mathrm{Sn}$ is investigated within the density-functional theory and linear-response approach mixed-basis pseudopotential representation. Phonon-induced scattering analyzed for excited electrons (holes) two majority bands, which form topological Weyl state. Although electron-phonon energy range under consideration demonstrates some dependence on available phase space, strength of phonon-mediated scattering, $\ensuremath{\lambda}$, changes rather weakly with hole (electron) momentum, varying between 0.1 0.3. The momentum-averaged value $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ ranges from 0.25 to 0.45. near point found be weak enough warrant well-defined quasiparticles. Most modes actively involved electron are middle- high-frequency lattice vibrations, while participation low-energy acoustic phonons significantly suppressed by matrix elements. Of long-wavelength optical phonons, only ${T}_{2g}$ Raman active generated opposite vibrations Co atoms make a noticeable contribution electrons.

Extremely high electron mobility in a phonon-glass semimetal.
The electron mobility is one of the key parameters that characterize the charge-carrier transport properties of materials, as exemplified by the quantum Hall effect as well as high-efficiency thermoelectric and solar energy conversions. For thermoelectric applications, introduction of chemical disorder is an important strategy for reducing the phonon-mediated thermal conduction, but is usually ...
متن کاملChiral magnetoresistance in the Weyl semimetal NbP
NbP is a recently realized Weyl semimetal (WSM), hosting Weyl points through which conduction and valence bands cross linearly in the bulk and exotic Fermi arcs appear. The most intriguing transport phenomenon of a WSM is the chiral anomaly-induced negative magnetoresistance (NMR) in parallel electric and magnetic fields. In intrinsic NbP the Weyl points lie far from the Fermi energy, making ch...
متن کاملSimilarity renormalization of the electron–phonon coupling
We study the problem of the phonon–induced electron–electron interaction in a solid. Starting with a Hamiltonian that contains an electron–phonon interaction, we perform a similarity renormalization transformation to calculate an effective Hamiltonian. Using this transformation singularities due to degeneracies are avoided explicitely. The effective interactions are calculated to second order i...

We present a first principles investigation of the lattice dynamics and electron-phonon coupling of the superconductor MgB2 and the isostructural AlB2 within the framework of density functional perturbation theory using a mixed-basis pseudopotential method. Complete phonon dispersion curves and Eliashberg functions alpha2F are calculated for both systems. The main differences are related to hig...
متن کاملNonlocal screening, electron-phonon coupling, and phonon renormalization in metals.
A method for calculating the phonon self-energy in metals arising from the coupling between phonons and electrons near the Fermi surface is developed. The essence of this scheme is the separation of the inter- and intraband parts of the electron polarizability. The intraband contribution provides extra screenings and is closely related to the electron-phonon coupling and phonon softening in met...
