Ab initio time-dependent GW approach for nonequilibrium exciton-phonon coupled dynamics across momentum space
Zhenfa Zheng, Benran Zhang, Jiawei Ruan +10
The dynamics of optical excitations in materials generally involves intertwined electron-hole (e-h) and electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions out of equilibrium. However, a full theo…
Theory of ab initio downfolding with arbitrary range electron-phonon coupling
Norm M. Tubman, Christopher J. N. Coveney, Chih-En Hsu +6
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, t…
Layer-tunable Hubbard bands probed via moiré excitons in MoSe/WS heterostructures
Hongyu Yao, Qiao Li, Chih-En Hsu +5
Moiré superlattices in transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures provide a highly tunable platform for engineering strongly interacting states at the nanoscale. However, qu…
Many-Body Correlation Effects in Fröhlich Electron-Phonon Coupling
Zien Zhu, Chih-En Hsu, Benran Zhang +5
In compound semiconductors and insulators, the polar electron-phonon coupling diverges at long range, known as the Fröhlich interaction. Modern first-principles electron-phonon ca…
Advancing Quantum Many-Body GW Calculations on Exascale Supercomputing Platforms
Benran Zhang, Daniel Weinberg, Chih-En Hsu +9
Advanced ab initio materials simulations face growing challenges as increasing systems and phenomena complexity requires higher accuracy, driving up computational demands. Quantum…
Moiré excitons in generalized Wigner crystals
Jing-Yang You, Chih-En Hsu, Zien Zhu +8
Moiré superlattices of transition-metal dichalcogenide bilayers host strong Coulomb interactions residing in narrow electron bands, leading to correlated insulating states at frac…
