Quantifying Photoinduced Polaronic Distortions in Inorganic Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals

Majed Chergui, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Michele Puppin, Nicola Colonna, Oliviero Cannelli, Andre Al Haddad, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Dominik Kinschel, Ludmila Maria Diniz Leroy, James Michael Budarz

The development of next-generation perovskite-based optoelectronic devices relies critically on the understanding of the interaction between charge carriers and the polar lattice in out-of-equilibrium conditions. While it has become increasingly evident fo ...

Photo- and thermally-induced electronic and structural dynamics in perovskites and transition metal oxides

Oliviero Cannelli

In this thesis, we exploited optical and X-ray pump-probe methods in a synergistic approach to study the interplay of the electronic, spin and structural degrees of freedom in two class of complex systems relevant for solar energy conversion applications: ...

Coherent energy exchange between carriers and phonons in Peierls-distorted bismuth unveiled by broadband XUV pulses

Iurii Timrov

In Peierls-distorted materials, photoexcitation leads to a strongly coupled transient response between structural and electronic degrees of freedom, always measured independently of each other. Here we use transient reflectivity in the extreme ultraviolet ...

Time- and Angle-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Solar Materials

Serhii Polishchuk

Natural foundations defining the manner in which a solid material interacts with optical radiation are primarily encoded in the material's momentum-dependent band structure and the microscopic details of the electron-lattice interactions. An access to this ...

Ab Initio Electron-Phonon Interactions in Correlated Electron Systems

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Matteo Cococcioni

Electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions are pervasive in condensed matter, governing phenomena such as transport, superconductivity, charge-density waves, polarons, and metal-insulator transitions. First-principles approaches enable accurate calculations of e- ...

Profiling novel high-conductivity 2D semiconductors

Nicola Marzari, Marco Gibertini, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier

When complex mechanisms are involved, pinpointing high-performance materials within large databases is a major challenge in materials discovery. We focus here on phonon-limited conductivities, and study 2D semiconductors doped by field effects. Using state ...

Dynamical properties of a driven dissipative dimerized S=1/2 chain

Bruce Normand

We consider the dynamical properties of a gapped quantum spin system coupled to the electric field of a laser, which drives the resonant excitation of specific phonon modes that modulate the magnetic interactions. We deduce the quantum master equations gov ...

Artificial out-of-plane Ising antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice with very small farther-neighbor couplings

Frédéric Mila, Jeanne Colbois

Despite their simple formulation, short-range classical antiferromagnetic Ising models on frustrated lattices give rise to exotic phases of matter, in particular, due to their macroscopic ground-state degeneracy. Recent experiments on artificial spin syste ...

Electron-phonon-driven three-dimensional metallicity in an insulating cuprate

Fabrizio Carbone, Cédric Weber, Edoardo Baldini

The role of the crystal lattice for the electronic properties of cuprates and other high-temperature superconductors remains controversial despite decades of theoretical and experimental efforts. While the paradigm of strong electronic correlations suggest ...

Terahertz surface modes and electron-phonon coupling on Bi2Se3(111)

Davide Campi

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the surface vibrational modes of the topological insulator Bi2Se3 with particular emphasis on the low-energy region below 10 meV that has been difficult to resolve experimentally. By applying inel ...
