Electron–phonon interactions underpin a diverse range of phenomena in quantum many-body systems. These interactions, whereby electrons couple with lattice vibrations (phonons), are central to ...
Researchers experimentally confirm their 2021 hypothesis that electron-phonon coupling, not electron-electron interactions, ...
A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...
A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...
Researchers Gyanendra Singh and Josep Fontcuberta, from the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona, have experimentally ...
Illustration of a polaron in a crystal: the central bright sphere is the charge carrier, distorting the surrounding lattice. The wavy lines represent high-order Feynman diagrams for the ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at Rice University and their collaborators have achieved a groundbreaking demonstration of strong interference between ...
What’s long been seen as a hindrance to electrical conduction in semiconductors may actually be an asset, at least in two-dimensional materials. The research team found that in atomically thin ...
The light (photons) emitted from phonons interact with vibrating electrons in the crystal, and this can be observed in the terahertz spectrum on the right. A researcher at the Department of Physics at ...
Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...
A team of more than 30 physicists and materials scientists published a detailed strategy for reaching room-temperature superconductivity, identifying the most promising material families, the biggest ...
