The principle of detailed balance between electrons and phonons in presence of excitonic effects
Alberto Guandalini, Giovanni Caldarelli, Francesco Mauri +1
Based on a many-body formulation, we derive an electron-phonon coupling including excitonic effects that preserves thermodynamic detailed balance between electronic and phononic sc…
Effective single particle picture for anharmonic lattice dynamics: a Rosetta stone for electronic and ionic response
Giovanni Caldarelli, Francesco Mauri
We establish a theoretical framework for the dynamics of a lattice of ions in a mean-field approach, where anharmonicity is included via self-consistency. In this picture, the many…
Ultraviolet optical conductivity, exciton fine-structure and dispersion of freestanding monolayer h-BN
Jinhua Hong, Alberto Guandalini, Weibin Wu +7
Excitons govern the light-matter interaction in 2D gapped materials with intrinsically large binding energies. In spite of plentiful optical measurements in the visible for semicon…
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…
Variational formulation of dynamical electronic response functions in presence of nonlocal exchange interactions
Giovanni Caldarelli, Alberto Guandalini, Francesco Macheda +1
We consider the dynamical electronic response function in theoretical frameworks that include nonlocal exchange interactions, such as the Bethe-Salpeter equation with the frequency…
First principles calculations of dynamical Born effective charges, quadrupoles and higher order terms from the charge response in large semiconducting and metallic systems
Francesco Macheda, Paolo Barone, Francesco Mauri
Within the context of first principles techniques we present a theoretical and computational framework to quickly determine, at finite momentum, the self-consistent (longitudinal)…
