The Stochastic Self-Consistent Harmonic Approximation: Calculating Vibrational Properties of Materials with Full Quantum and Anharmonic Effects

Lorenzo Monacelli, Raffaello Bianco, Marco Cherubini +3

The efficient and accurate calculation of how ionic quantum and thermal fluctuations impact the free energy of a crystal, its atomic structure, and phonon spectrum is one of the ma…

Strong Anharmonic and Quantum Effects in Pm-3n AlH3 Under High Pressure: A First-Principles Study

Pugeng Hou, Francesco Belli, Raffaello Bianco +1

Motivated by the absence of experimental superconductivity in the metallic Pm-3n phase of AlH3 despite the predictions, we reanalyze its vibrational and superconducting properties…

Phonon collapse and van der Waals melting of the 3D charge density wave of VSe

Josu Diego, A. H. Said, S. K. Mahatha +7

Among transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), VSe is considered to develop a purely 3-dimensional (3D) charge-density wave (CDW) at T=110 K. Here, by means of high res…

Theory of the thickness dependence of the charge density wave transition in 1T-TiTe

Jianqiang Sky Zhou, Raffaello Bianco, Lorenzo Monacelli +3

Most metallic transition metal dichalcogenides undergo charge density wave (CDW) instabilities with similar or identical ordering vectors in bulk and in single layer, albeit with d…

Weak Dimensionality Dependence and Dominant Role of Ionic Fluctuations in the Charge-Density-Wave Transition of NbSe

Raffaello Bianco, Lorenzo Monacelli, Matteo Calandra +2

Contradictory experiments have been reported about the dimensionality effect on the charge-density-wave transition in 2H NbSe. While scanning tunnelling experiments on single l…

Anharmonic melting of the charge density wave in single-layer TiSe2

Jianqiang Sky Zhou, Lorenzo Monacelli, Raffaello Bianco +3

Low dimensional systems with a vanishing band-gap and a large electron-hole interaction have been proposed to be unstable towards exciton formation. As the exciton binding energy i…
