This article reviews the theory of electron-phonon interactions in solids from the point of view
of ab initio calculations. While the electron-phonon interaction has been studied for almost a …

Strontium titanate is a wide-gap semiconductor avoiding a ferroelectric instability thanks to
quantum fluctuations. This proximity leads to strong screening of static Coulomb interaction …

We demonstrate the ab initio electrical transport calculation limited by electron-phonon
coupling by using the full solution of the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE), which applies …

The discovery of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface has
resulted in the observation of many properties,,–not present in conventional semiconductor …

We present a first-principles framework to investigate the electron scattering channels and
transport properties for polar materials by combining the exact solution of the linearized …

Structural phase transitions and soft phonon modes pose a long-standing challenge to
computing electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions in strongly anharmonic crystals. Here we …

With first-principles calculated electron-phonon coupling matrix elements, the phonon-
limited electron and hole mobilities of Si and GaAs are studied using the Boltzmann …

As the length scales of materials decrease, the heterogeneities associated with interfaces
become almost as important as the surrounding materials. This has led to extensive studies …

We develop a formalism and a computational method to study polarons in insulators and
semiconductors from first principles. Unlike in standard calculations requiring large …

We present a theoretical framework to describe polarons from first principles within a many-
body Green's function formalism. Starting from a general electron-phonon Hamiltonian, we …
