Long-range electrostatic contribution to electron-phonon couplings and mobilities of two-dimensional and bulk materials

Nicola Marzari, Marco Gibertini, Samuel Poncé, Massimiliano Stengel

Charge transport plays a crucial role in manifold potential applications of two-dimensional materials, in-cluding field-effect transistors, solar cells, and transparent conductors. At most operating temperatures, charge transport is hindered by scattering ...

Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering Study of Electron-Exciton Coupling in High-T-c Cuprates

Fabrizio Carbone, Thorsten Schmitt, Ivan Madan, Christophe Berthod, Francesco Barantani, Yi Tseng, Dirk Van der Marel

Explaining the mechanism of superconductivity in the high-T-c cuprates requires an understanding of what causes electrons to form Cooper pairs. Pairing can be mediated by phonons, the screened Coulomb force, spin or charge fluctuations, excitons, or by a c ...

Time- and Angle-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Solar Materials

Serhii Polishchuk

Natural foundations defining the manner in which a solid material interacts with optical radiation are primarily encoded in the material's momentum-dependent band structure and the microscopic details of the electron-lattice interactions. An access to this ...

Evidence of a coupled electron-phonon liquid in NbGe2

Mathieu François Padlewski, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Hao Yang

Whereas electron-phonon scattering relaxes the electron's momentum in metals, a perpetual exchange of momentum between phonons and electrons may conserve total momentum and lead to a coupled electron-phonon liquid. Such a phase of matter could be a platfor ...

Electron-phonon-driven three-dimensional metallicity in an insulating cuprate

Fabrizio Carbone, Edoardo Baldini, Cédric Weber

The role of the crystal lattice for the electronic properties of cuprates and other high-temperature superconductors remains controversial despite decades of theoretical and experimental efforts. While the paradigm of strong electronic correlations suggest ...

Nonequilibrium exciton physics in hybrid lead-halide perovskites and anatase titanium dioxide

Tania Palmieri

The strength of the electron-hole interaction in bulk semiconductors is not only determined by the dielectric environment, but also depends on the presence of other quasiparticles - free charge carriers or phonons - that populate the system. In the former ...

Valley-Engineering Mobilities in Two-Dimensional Materials

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi, Marco Gibertini, Davide Campi, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier

Two-dimensional materials are emerging as a promising platform for ultrathin channels in field-effect transistors. To this aim, novel high-mobility semiconductors need to be found or engineered. Although extrinsic mechanisms can in general be minimized by ...

Electric field exfoliation and high-T-C superconductivity in field-effect hole-doped hydrogenated diamond (111)

Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier

We investigate the possible occurrence of field-effect induced superconductivity in the hydrogenated (111) diamond surface by first-principles calculations. By computing the band alignment between bulk diamond and the hydrogenated surface, we show that the ...
