This chapter reviews nonresonant, meV-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS), as applied
to the measurement of atomic dynamics of crystalline materials. It, in conjunction with a …

The electron–phonon interaction is a major factor influencing the competition between
collective instabilities in correlated-electron materials, but its role in driving high-temperature …

Graphene is the strongest material ever studied and can be an efficient substitute for silicon.
This six-volume handbook focuses on fabrication methods, nanostructure and atomic …

Engineering lattice thermal conductivity requires to control the heat carried by atomic
vibration waves, the phonons. The key parameter for quantifying it is the phonon lifetime …

This paper reviews non-resonant, meV-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS), as applied
to the measurement of atomic dynamics of crystalline materials. It is designed to be an …

Superconductors are classified by their pairing mechanism and the coupling strength,
measured as the ratio of the energy gap, 2 Δ, to the critical temperature, T c. We present an …

The influence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the electron-phonon interaction and on the
pairing strength is investigated for Pb and Tl within density-functional theory. For Pb we find …

The Kitaev quantum spin liquid epitomizes an entangled topological state, for which two
flavors of fractionalized low-energy excitations are predicted: the itinerant Majorana fermion …

Helium (He) atom scattering (HAS) simultaneously measured the surface electron–phonon
coupling (EPC, SEPC) constant (λ, λS) and in situ high-temperature atomic-scale surface …

The electron-phonon interaction (EPI) is instrumental in a wide variety of phenomena in
solid-state physics, such as electrical resistivity in metals, carrier mobility, optical transition …
