Watching Polarons Form in Real Time

Victor Garcia-Herrero, Christoph Emeis, Zhenbang Dai +3

Polaron formation in pump-probe experiments is an inherently non-equilibrium phenomenon, driven by the ultrafast coupled dynamics of electrons and phonons, and culminating in the e…

Symmetry-protected topological polarons

Kaifa Luo, Jon Lafuente-Bartolome, Feliciano Giustino

Emergent quasiparticles in solids often exhibit unique topological properties as a result of the complex interplay between charge, orbital, spin and lattice degrees of freedom. Amo…

Polarons from first principles

Zhenbang Dai, Jon Lafuente-Bartolome, Feliciano Giustino

This article reviews recent theoretical developments in the ab initio study of polarons in materials. The polaron is an emergent quasiparticle that arises from the interaction betw…

Comparison between first-principles supercell calculations of polarons and the ab initio polaron equations

Zhenbang Dai, Donghwan Kim, Jon Lafuente-Bartolome +1

Polarons are composite quasiparticles formed by excess charges and the accompanying lattice distortions in solids, and play a critical role in transport, optical, and catalytic pro…

Theory of excitonic polarons: From models to first-principles calculations

Zhenbang Dai, Chao Lian, Jon Lafuente-Bartolome +1

Excitons are neutral excitations that are composed of electrons and holes bound together by their attractive Coulomb interaction. The electron and the hole forming the exciton also…

Excitonic polarons and self-trapped excitons from first-principles exciton-phonon couplings

Zhenbang Dai, Chao Lian, Jon Lafuente-Bartolome +1

Excitons consist of electrons and holes held together by their attractive Coulomb interaction. Although excitons are neutral excitations, spatial fluctuations in their charge densi…

Ab initio self-consistent many-body theory of polarons at all couplings

Jon Lafuente-Bartolome, Chao Lian, Weng Hong Sio +3

We present a theoretical framework to describe polarons from first principles within a many-body Green's function formalism. Starting from a general electron-phonon Hamiltonian, we…

Unified approach to polarons and phonon-induced band structure renormalization

Jon Lafuente-Bartolome, Chao Lian, Weng Hong Sio +3

Ab initio calculations of the phonon-induced band structure renormalization are currently based on the perturbative Allen-Heine theory and its many-body generalizations. These appr…
