Nonequilibrium Lattice Dynamics in Monolayer MoS2

Fabio Caruso

Summary: The coupled nonequilibrium dynamics of electrons and phonons in monolayer MoS2 are studied, with strict phase-space constraints in electron-phonon scattering significantly influencing the decay path of excited electrons and holes. The momentum selectivity in phonon emission results in highly anisotropic population of phonons in reciprocal space, persisting for up to 10 ps until thermal equilibrium is restored by phonon-phonon scattering. Achieving control of the nonequilibrium dynamics of the lattice may offer unexplored opportunities to selectively enhance the phonon population of two-dimensional crystals and tailor electron-phonon interactions over subpicosecond time scales.

Efficient First-Principles Methodology for the Calculation of the All-Phonon Inelastic Scattering in Solids

Marios Zacharias et al.

Summary: Inelastic scattering experiments are crucial for mapping fundamental excitations of solids, with a particular focus on the role of multiphonon processes for phonon excitations. A new first-principles methodology has been developed to calculate the all-phonon quantum mechanical structure factor of solids, demonstrating the significance of multiphonon processes in the scattering patterns of black phosphorus. This approach represents a significant step towards interpreting static and time-resolved electron, x-ray, and neutron inelastic scattering data.

Exciton-Phonon Interactions in Monolayer Germanium Selenide from First Principles

Tianlun Allan Huang et al.

Summary: Exciton-phonon interactions in monolayer germanium selenide lead to the renormalization of the optical gap, with the strongest coupling to optical phonons at around 100 cm(-1). The interaction between excitons and phonons is similar in monolayer and bulk GeSe. Overall, the combination of many-body perturbation theory and special displacements offers a new approach to study electron-phonon couplings and band gap renormalization in excitonic spectra.

Mechanisms of electron-phonon coupling unraveled in momentum and time: The case of soft phonons in TiSe2

Martin R. Otto et al.

Summary: This study investigates the electron-phonon coupling phenomena in 1T-TiSe2 using ultrafast electron diffuse scattering, distinguishing the contributions to phonon softening from different mechanisms. By selectively photo-doping carriers into the electron pocket, the researchers observe specific renormalization of soft zone-boundary phonon frequencies followed by electron-phonon equilibration.

Accessing the Anisotropic Nonthermal Phonon Populations in Black Phosphorus

Helene Seiler et al.

Summary: By combining experiments and theory, we have identified highly anisotropic electron-phonon scattering processes as the primary driving force of nonequilibrium lattice dynamics in black phosphorus and developed an approach to reproduce experimental features. This method could be extended to other nonequilibrium phenomena involving coupled electron-phonon dynamics.

Toward precise simulations of the coupled ultrafast dynamics of electrons and atomic vibrations in materials

Xiao Tong et al.

Summary: Ultrafast spectroscopies can access the dynamics of electrons and nuclei at short timescales, however, accurate calculations to interpret these experiments has lagged behind. A precise approach combining first-principles electron-phonon and phonon-phonon interactions provides insight into scattering mechanisms in excited materials, paving the way for quantitative atomistic simulations of ultrafast dynamics in materials.
