Phonon dispersion and electron-phonon coupling in MgB2 and AlB2.
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 کاملPhonon linewidths and electron-phonon coupling in graphite and nanotubes
We show that electron-phonon coupling EPC is the major source of broadening for the Raman G and G− peaks in graphite and metallic nanotubes. This allows us to directly measure the optical-phonon EPCs from the G and G− linewidths. The experimental EPCs compare extremely well with those from the density functional theory. We show that the EPC explains the difference in the Raman spectra of metall...
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...
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...
متن کاملElectron-phonon coupling and electron heat capacity of metals under conditions of strong electron-phonon nonequilibrium
The dependence of the strength of the electron-phonon coupling and the electron heat capacity on the electron temperature is investigated for eight representative metals, Al, Cu, Ag, Au, Ni, Pt, W, and Ti, for the conditions of strong electron-phonon nonequilibrium. These conditions are characteristic of metal targets subjected to energetic ion bombardment or short-pulse laser irradiation. Comp...
