Electron-phonon scattering in topological insulator thin films
Sébastien Giraud, Arijit Kundu, Reinhold Egger
We present a theoretical study of electron-phonon scattering effects in thin films made of a strong topological insulator. Phonons are modelled by isotropic elastic continuum theor…
Finite-size version of the excitonic instability in graphene quantum dots
Tomi Paananen, Reinhold Egger
By a combination of Hartree-Fock simulations, exact diagonalization, and perturbative calculations, we investigate the ground-state properties of disorder-free circular quantum dot…
Current-induced forces in mesoscopic systems: a scattering matrix approach
Niels Bode, Silvia Viola Kusminskiy, Reinhold Egger +1
Nanoelectromechanical systems are characterized by an intimate connection between electronic and mechanical degrees of freedom. Due to the nanoscopic scale, current flowing through…
Scattering theory of current-induced forces in mesoscopic systems
Niels Bode, Silvia Viola Kusminskiy, Reinhold Egger +1
We develop a scattering theory of current-induced forces exerted by the conduction electrons of a general mesoscopic conductor on slow "mechanical" degrees of freedom. Our theory d…
Electron-phonon scattering in topological insulators
Sébastien Giraud, Reinhold Egger
We formulate and apply a theory of electron-phonon interactions for the surface state of a strong topological insulator. Phonons are modelled using an isotropic elastic continuum t…
