Spin-dependent anisotropic electron-phonon coupling in KTaO
Giulia Venditti, Francesco Macheda, Paolo Barone +2
KTaO (KTO) is an incipient ferroelectric, characterized by a softening of the lowest transverse optical (TO) mode with decreasing temperature. Cooper pairing in the recently di…
Infrared markers of topological phase transitions in quantum spin Hall insulators
Paolo Fachin, Francesco Macheda, Paolo Barone +1
Using first principles techniques, we show that infrared optical response can be used to discriminate between the topological and the trivial phases of two-dimensional quantum spin…
Excitonic effects in phonons: reshaping the graphene Kohn anomalies and lifetimes
Alberto Guandalini, Francesco Macheda, Giovanni Caldarelli +1
We develop an ab initio framework that captures the impact of electron-electron and electron-hole interactions on phonon properties. This enables the inclusion of excitonic effects…
