Influence Functional Approach to Non-Perturbative Exciton Binding Renormalization from Phonons
Rohit Rana, Eric R. Heller, Antonios M. Alvertis +2
We construct a many-body model Hamiltonian to capture how phonons renormalize exciton binding as a function of temperature. By using the GW approximation and density functional per…
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 cal…
Tunable electronic energy level alignment and exciton diversity in organic-inorganic van der Waals heterostructures
Aurélie Champagne, Olugbenga Adeniran, Jonah B. Haber +3
van der Waals stacking of two-dimensional (2D) materials offers a powerful platform for engineering material interfaces with tailored electronic and optical properties. While most…
Ultrafast Spontaneous Exciton Dissociation via Phonon Emission in BiVO
Stephen E. Gant, Antonios M. Alvertis, Christopher J. N. Coveney +3
Monoclinic bismuth vanadate (m-BiVO) is a promising indirect band gap semiconductor for photoelectrochemical water splitting, yet the characteristics of its low-lying photoexci…
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…
Phonon screening of excitons in atomically thin semiconductors
Woncheol Lee, Antonios M. Alvertis, Zhenglu Li +4
Atomically thin semiconductors, encompassing both 2D materials and quantum wells, exhibit a pronounced enhancement of excitonic effects due to geometric confinement. Consequently,…

Christopher J. N. Coveney, Jonah B. Haber, Antonios M. Alvertis +2
Understanding the processes governing the dissociation of excitons to free charge carriers in semiconductors and insulators is of central importance for photovoltaic applications.…
Capturing electronic correlations in electron-phonon interactions in molecular systems with the GW approximation
Antonios M. Alvertis, David B. Williams-Young, Fabien Bruneval +1
Electron-phonon interactions are of great importance to a variety of physical phenomena, and their accurate description is an important goal for first-principles calculations. Isol…
Phonon screening and dissociation of excitons at finite temperatures from first principles
Antonios M. Alvertis, Jonah B. Haber, Zhenglu Li +4
The properties of excitons, or correlated electron-hole pairs, are of paramount importance to optoelectronic applications of materials. A central component of exciton physics is th…
Phonon-induced localization of excitons in molecular crystals from first principles
Antonios M. Alvertis, Jonah B. Haber, Edgar A. Engel +2
The spatial extent of excitons in molecular systems underpins their photophysics and utility for optoelectronic applications. Phonons are reported to lead to both exciton localizat…
First principles modeling of exciton-polaritons in polydiacetylene chains
Antonios M. Alvertis, Raj Pandya, Claudio Quarti +7
Exciton-polaritons in organic materials are hybrid states that result from the strong interaction of photons and the bound excitons that these materials host. Organic polaritons ho…
The impact of exciton delocalization on exciton-vibration interactions in organic semiconductors
Antonios M. Alvertis, Raj Pandya, Loreta A. Muscarella +7
Organic semiconductors exhibit properties of individual molecules and extended crystals simultaneously. The strongly bound excitons they host are typically described in the molecul…
