Electron and phonon interactions and transport in ultra-high-temperature ceramic ZrC

Thomas A. Mellan, Alex Aziz, Yi Xia +2

We have simulated the ultra-high-temperature ceramic zirconium carbide (ZrC) in order to predict electron and phonon scattering properties, including lifetimes and transport. Our p…

Phonon-pump electronic-probe study of methylammonium lead iodide reveals electronically decoupled organic and inorganic sublattices

Peijun Guo, Arun Mannodi-Kanakkithodi, Jue Gong +10

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites such as methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) are game-changing semiconductors for solar cells and light-emitting devices owing to their exce…

Compressive sensing lattice dynamics. II. Efficient phonon calculations and long-range interactions

Fei Zhou, Babak Sadigh, Daniel Aberg +2

We apply the compressive sensing lattice dynamics (CSLD) method to calculate phonon dispersion for crystalline solids. While existing methods such as frozen phonon, small displacem…
