Extremely high electron mobility in a phonon-glass semimetal.
The electron mobility is one of the key parameters that characterize the charge-carrier transport properties of materials, as exemplified by the quantum Hall effect as well as high-efficiency thermoelectric and solar energy conversions. For thermoelectric applications, introduction of chemical disorder is an important strategy for reducing the phonon-mediated thermal conduction, but is usually ...
متن کاملDirac semimetal in three dimensions.
We show that the pseudorelativistic physics of graphene near the Fermi level can be extended to three dimensional (3D) materials. Unlike in phase transitions from inversion symmetric topological to normal insulators, we show that particular space groups also allow 3D Dirac points as symmetry protected degeneracies. We provide criteria necessary to identify these groups and, as an example, prese...
متن کاملPhonon dispersion and electron-phonon coupling in MgB2 and AlB2.
We present a first principles investigation of the lattice dynamics and electron-phonon coupling of the superconductor MgB2 and the isostructural AlB2 within the framework of density functional perturbation theory using a mixed-basis pseudopotential method. Complete phonon dispersion curves and Eliashberg functions alpha2F are calculated for both systems. The main differences are related to hig...
متن کاملNonlocal screening, electron-phonon coupling, and phonon renormalization in metals.
A method for calculating the phonon self-energy in metals arising from the coupling between phonons and electrons near the Fermi surface is developed. The essence of this scheme is the separation of the inter- and intraband parts of the electron polarizability. The intraband contribution provides extra screenings and is closely related to the electron-phonon coupling and phonon softening in met...
متن کاملElectron-phonon resonance in InAsÕGaSb type-II laser heterostructures
The rate of interband electron transitions assisted by LO-phonon emission is studied in an InAs/ GaSb double quantum well heterostructure, which models the active region of a type-II intersubband cascade laser. The main peak of the electron-phonon resonance corresponds to electron transitions from the lowest electron-like subband to the top of the highest light-hole-like subband that is displac...
