Graphene-based materials exhibit remarkable electronic, optical, and mechanical
properties, which has resulted in both high scientific interest and huge potential for a variety …

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 …

sp 2 hybridized carbons constitute a broad class of solid phases composed primarily of
elemental carbon and can be either synthetic or naturally occurring. Some examples are …

Hot charge carriers in graphene exhibit fascinating physical phenomena, whose
understanding has improved greatly over the past decade. They have distinctly different …

Raman spectroscopy is an integral part of graphene research. It is used to determine the
number and orientation of layers, the quality and types of edge, and the effects of …

Black phosphorus has been revisited recently as a new two-dimensional material showing
potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Here we report the anisotropic in …

The excitation of surface-phonon-polariton (SPhP) modes in polar dielectric crystals and the
associated new developments in the field of SPhPs are reviewed. The emphasis of this work …

We present an ab initio framework to calculate anharmonic phonon frequency and phonon
lifetime that is applicable to severely anharmonic systems. We employ self-consistent …

Two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic materials with high spin polarization are highly
desirable for spintronic devices. 2D Janus materials exhibit novel properties due to their …

A strong electron-phonon interaction which limits the electronic mobility of semiconductors
can also have significant effects on phonon frequencies. The latter is the key to the use of …
