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 …

One of the fundamental properties of semiconductors is their ability to support highly tunable
electric currents in the presence of electric fields or carrier concentration gradients. These …

EPW is an open-source software for ab initio calculations of electron–phonon interactions
and related materials properties. The code combines density functional perturbation theory …

Abstract The EPW (Electron-Phonon coupling using Wannier functions) software is a
Fortran90 code that uses density-functional perturbation theory and maximally localized …

This article reviews the current status of lattice-dynamical calculations in crystals, using
density-functional perturbation theory, with emphasis on the plane-wave pseudopotential …

Starting from the knowledge of first-order changes of wave functions and density with
respect to small atomic displacements or infinitesimal homogeneous electric fields within the …

A review of the basic ideas and techniques of the spectral density-functional theory is
presented. This method is currently used for electronic structure calculations of strongly …

The changes in density, wave functions, and self-consistent potentials of solids, in response
to small atomic displacements or infinitesimal homogeneous electric fields, are considered …

The treatment of adiabatic perturbations within density-functional theory is examined, at
arbitrary order of the perturbation expansion. Due to the extremal property of the energy …

Spectral distribution functions of electron-phonon interaction α 2 F (ω) obtained by ab initio
linear-response calculations are used to describe various superconducting and transport …
