  • Phonon Dispersion in mos 2
    Physical Review B, 2019
    Co-Authors: Hans Tornatzky, Roland Gillen, Hiroshi Uchiyama, Janina Maultzsch
    Abstract:

    The Phonon Dispersion is one of the most fundamental properties of a crystalline material. It determines virtually all of its physical properties, including optical, electronic, mechanical, and thermal behavior. Despite its importance, the Phonon Dispersion of MoS${}_{2}$ -- one of the most investigated two-dimensional semiconductors -- has not been determined experimentally in relevant parts of the Brillouin zone. In a combined experimental and theoretical approach, the authors present comprehensively the entire Phonon Dispersion of a MoS${}_{2}$ crystal and determine displacement patterns, symmetries, and scattering intensities.

  • signature of the two dimensional Phonon Dispersion in graphene probed by double resonant raman scattering
    Physical Review B, 2013
    Co-Authors: Patrick May, Michele Lazzeri, Francesco Mauri, J S Reparaz, P Venezuela, Felix Herziger, Gordon Callsen, A Hoffmann, Janina Maultzsch
    Abstract:

    In this article we unravel the origin of the two-Phonon D + D �� peak and its asymmetric line shape by combining experimental data of single-layer graphene with a full twodimensional calculation of the double-resonant Raman process based on fourth-order perturbation theory. We show that the main peak originates from Phonons along the K highsymmetry line and that the asymmetry is due to Phonons from the two-dimensional Brillouin zone. The analysis of the asymmetric line shape in experiment provides a direct probe of the two-dimensional Phonon Dispersion. We further show how the D + D �� peak evolves with the number of graphene layers.

  • Phonon Dispersion of graphite by inelastic x ray scattering
    Physical Review B, 2007
    Co-Authors: M Moh, Janina Maultzsch, E Dobardzic, Stephanie Reich, I Milosevic, M Damnjanovic, Alexey Osak, M Krisch, C Thomse
    Abstract:

    We present the full in-plane Phonon Dispersion of graphite obtained from inelastic x-ray scattering, including the optical and acoustic branches, as well as the mid-frequency range between the $K$ and $M$ points in the Brillouin zone, where experimental data have been unavailable so far. The existence of a Kohn anomaly at the $K$ point is further supported. We fit a fifth-nearest neighbour force-constants model to the experimental data, making improved force-constants calculations of the Phonon Dispersion in both graphite and carbon nanotubes available.

  • double resonant raman scattering in graphite interference effects selection rules and Phonon Dispersion
    Physical Review B, 2004
    Co-Authors: Janina Maultzsch, Stephanie Reich, C Thomse
    Abstract:

    We present a comprehensive analysis of double-resonant Raman scattering in graphite and derive an analytical expression for the Raman cross section of the D mode in one dimension. The extension to two dimensions does not change the double-resonant Phonon wave vectors. In the full integration of the Raman cross section, the contributions by Phonons from exactly the K point cancel due to destructive interference. We calculate the D mode explicitly based on recent experimental data of the graphite Phonon Dispersion. Applying the selection rules, a mapping of additional disorder-induced and second-order Raman modes onto the Brillouin zone of graphite is obtained. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.70.155403

  • adiabatic and nonadiabatic Phonon Dispersion in a wannier function approach
    Physical Review B, 2010
    Co-Authors: Matteo Calandra, Gianni Profeta, Francesco Mauri
    Abstract:

    We develop a first-principles scheme to calculate adiabatic and nonadiabatic Phonon frequencies in the full Brillouin zone. The method relies on the stationary properties of a force-constant functional with respect to the first-order perturbation of the electronic charge density and on the localization of the deformation potential in the Wannier function basis. This allows for calculation of Phonon-Dispersion curves free from convergence issues related to Brillouin-zone sampling. In addition our approach justifies the use of the static screened potential in the calculation of the Phonon linewidth due to decay in electron-hole pairs. We apply the method to the calculation of the Phonon Dispersion and electron-Phonon coupling in ${\text{MgB}}_{2}$ and ${\text{CaC}}_{6}$. In both compounds we demonstrate the occurrence of several Kohn anomalies, absent in previous calculations, that are manifest only after careful electron- and Phonon-momentum integration. In ${\text{MgB}}_{2}$, the presence of Kohn anomalies on the ${\text{E}}_{2g}$ branches improves the agreement with measured Phonon spectra and affects the position of the main peak in the Eliashberg function. In ${\text{CaC}}_{6}$ we show that the nonadiabatic effects on in-plane carbon vibrations are not localized at zone center but are sizable throughout the full Brillouin zone. Our method opens perspectives in large-scale first-principles calculations of dynamical properties and electron-Phonon interaction.

  • Phonon Dispersion and lifetimes in MgB2
    Physical Review Letters, 2003
    Co-Authors: Abhay Shukla, Matteo Calandra, Matteo D'astuto, Michele Lazzeri, Francesco Mauri, Christophe Bellin, Michael Krisch, J. Karpinski, S. M. Kazakov, J. Jun
    Abstract:

    We measure Phonon Dispersion and linewidth in a single crystal of MgB_2 along the Gamma-A, Gamma-M and A-L directions using inelastic X-Ray scattering. We use Density Functional Theory to compute the effect of both electron-Phonon coupling and anharmonicity on the linewidth, obtaining excellent agreement with experiment. Anomalous broadening of the E_2g Phonon mode is found all along Gamma-A. The dominant contribution to the linewidth is always the electron-Phonon coupling.
