Emergence of large non-adiabatic effects induced by the electron-phonon interaction on the complex vibrational quasi-particle spectrum of the doped monolayer MoS${}_2$

Abstract

We present a comprehensive first-principles analysis of the non-adiabatic effects due to the electron-phonon interaction on the vibrational spectrum of the electron-doped monolayer MoS${}_2$. Deep changes in the Fermi surface upon doping cause the linewidth broadening of the normal modes governing the spin-conserving inter-valley electronic scattering, which become unstable with the population of all the spin-split conduction valleys. We find that the non-adiabatic spectral effects modify dramatically the adiabatic dispersion of the long-wavelength optical phonon modes, responsible for intra-valley scattering, as soon as inequivalent valleys get populated. These results are illustrated by means of a simple analytical model. Finally, we explain the emergence of an intricate dynamical structure for the strongly interacting out-of-plane polarized A 0 1 optical vibrational mode spectrum by means of a multiple-phonon quasi-particle picture defined in the full complex frequency plane, showing that this intriguing spectral structure originates from the splitting of the original adiabatic branch induced by the electron-phonon coupling.
