Theory of Nonlinear s-Polarized Phonon-Polaritons in Multilayered Structures
A theory is presented for the dispersion relations of the nonlinear phonon-polaritons arising when phonons are coupled to the electromagnetic waves in multilayered structures of nonlinear materials. The calculations are applied to a multilayered structure consisting of a thin film surrounded by semi-infinite bounding media where each layer may have a frequency dependent dielectric function and ...
متن کاملHot electrons in low-dimensional phonon systems
A simple bulk model of electron-phonon coupling in metals has been partially successful in explaining experiments on metal films that actually involve surfaceor other low-dimensional phonons. However, by an exact application of this standard model to a semi-infinite substrate with a free surface, making use of the actual vibrational modes of the substrate, we show that such agreement is fortuit...
متن کاملLineshape analysis of keV electrons scattered from hydrogen molecules
Accurate measurements of keV electrons scattered elastically from H2 molecules reveal a lineshape that is an intrinsic property of the target. The intrinsic width of the elastic peak is due to the non-zero momentum of a proton bound to a molecule. A more precise analysis of the lineshape shows that it deviates from Gaussian. This deviation is shown to be a consequence of the dominance of the mo...
متن کاملEffects of phonon dynamics on electrons in one-dimensional conductors
The exact conditions under which the critical behavior of the electron density of states involves the dynamical critical indices of the soft phonon, as well as the corresponding expressions for the electron density of states are derived for a model phonon structure factor. The application of these results to real materials is discussed. A good understanding of the anomalous conductivity behavio...
متن کاملEarly-stage relaxation of hot electrons by LO phonon emission
Ultrafast spectroscopy gives insight into the relaxation and dephasing of electrons during the first femtoseconds after an optical excitation. A theoretical description of this early-time regime requires a proper treatment of retardation effects for the different scattering processes. The scattering of electrons by optical phonons is investigated within the S-matrix formalism. This perturbative...
