A strong Kohn anomaly in ZrTe_3 is identified in the mostly transverse acoustic phonon branch along the modulation vector q_P with polarization along the a* direction. This soft mode freezes to zero frequency at the transition temperature T_P and the temperature dependence of the frequency is strongly affected by fluctuation effects. Diffuse x-ray scattering of the incommensurate superstructure shows a power law scaling of the intensity and the correlation length that is compatible with an order parameter of dimension n = 2.
Interaction of Phonons and Dirac Fermions on the Surface of Bi2Se3: A Strong Kohn Anomaly
我们首次测量了强三维拓扑绝缘体Bi 2 Se 3的(001)面声子色散曲线。利用相干氦束表面散射技术对表面声子进行了测量。结果揭示了一个突出的签名的异国情调的金属狄拉克费米子准粒子,包括一个强大的科恩异常。签名是明显的低能量各向同性凸色散表面声子分支的频率最大值为1.8太赫兹,并具有V形最小值在约2kF,定义了科恩异常。理论分析将这种色散分布归因于表面狄拉克费米子对表面声子激发的重正化。狄拉克费米子的贡献,这个重整化的库仑型微扰模型的条款。

Charge ordering mechanism in silver fluoride AgF$_2$
用密度泛函理论研究了氧铜酸盐的银类似物AgF $_2$中的Mott-Hubbard竞争和价间电荷转移机制.我们发现,在降低的温度和电子相关性AgF $_2$成为金属和动态不稳定的CDW声子模式,促进电荷有序。CDW不稳定性与Kohn异常和费米面嵌套密切相关。解释了长期以来提出的KBrF $_4$型CDW Ag $^{1+/3+}$ F $_2$结构及其向基态Ag $^{2+}$ F $_2$相的转变。我们的研究结果指出,在看似简单的二元金属氟化物的晶格,电荷和自旋自由度之间的密切相互作用。
