Phonon-Assisted Ballistic Current from First-Principles Calculations

Journal Article Dai, Zhenbang ; Schankler, Aaron M. ; Gao, Lingyuan ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) refers to current generation due to illumination by light in a homogeneous bulk material lacking inversion symmetry. In addition to the intensively studied shift current, the ballistic current, which originates from asymmetric carrier generation due to scattering processes, also constitutes an important contribution to the overall kinetic model of the BPVE. In this Letter, we use a perturbative approach to derive a formula for the ballistic current resulting from the intrinsic electron-phonon scattering in a form amenable to first-principles calculation. We then implement the theory and calculate the ballistic current of the prototypical BPVE materialmore »« less

Phonon thermal transport in 2H, 4H and 6H silicon carbide from first principles

Journal Article Protik, Nakib Haider ; Katre, Ankita ; Lindsay, Lucas R. ; ... - Materials Today Physics

Here, silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide band gap semiconductor with a variety of industrial applications. Among its many useful properties is its high thermal conductivity, which makes it advantageous for thermal management applications. In this paper we present ab initio calculations of the in-plane and cross-plane thermal conductivities, κ_in and κ_out, of three common hexagonal polytypes of SiC: 2H, 4H and 6H. The phonon Boltzmann transport equation is solved iteratively using as input interatomic force constants determined from density functional theory. Both κ_in and κ_out decrease with increasing n in nH SiC because of additional low-lying optic phonon branches.more »« less

Gallium arsenide thermal conductivity and optical phonon relaxation times from first-principles calculations

Journal Article Luo, Tengfei ; Garg, Jivtesh ; Shiomi, Junichiro ; ... - Europhysics Letters

Thermal conductivity of crystalline GaAs is calculated using first-principles lattice dynamics. The harmonic and cubic force constants are obtained by fitting them to the force-displacement data from density functional theory calculations. Phonon dispersion is calculated from a dynamical matrix constructed using the harmonic force constants and phonon relaxation times are calculated using Fermi's Golden rule. The calculated GaAs thermal conductivity agrees well with experimental data. Thermal conductivity accumulations as a function of the phonon mean free path and as a function of the wavelength are obtained. Our results predict a significant size effect on the GaAs thermal conductivity in themore »« less

Anomalous effective charges and far-IR optical absorption of Al{sub 2}Ru from first principles

Journal Article Oeguet, S ; Rabe, K M - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

For the orthorhombic intermetallic semiconductor Al{sub 2}Ru, the band structure, valence charge density, zone-center optical-phonon frequencies, and Born effective-charge and electronic dielectric tensors are calculated using variational density-functional perturbation theory with {ital ab} {ital initio} pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis set. Good agreement is obtained with recent measurements on polycrystalline samples, which showed anomalously strong far-IR absorption by optical phonons, while analysis of the valence charge density shows that the static ionic charges of Al and Ru are negligible. Hybridization is proposed as the single origin both of the semiconducting gap and the anomalous Born effective charges. Analogous behavior ismore »« less
