摘要:

本研究开发了一种实验与计算相结合的方法,用于探究真实材料中声子对极化子形成的贡献。以LiF(氟化锂)为例,我们证明Sio等人近期提出的从头算理论[PRL 122, 246403 (2019)]可预测极化子准粒子中依赖动量和支链的声子振幅,这些预测可通过超快电子漫散射(UEDS)及相关技术进行验证。LiF中的大电子极化子的UEDS特征在定性上与简单点缺陷模型的预期结果相似,但小空穴极化子呈现出极强的各向异性UEDS图案,与点缺陷模型的吻合度很差。我们还表明,这些极化子漫散射特征直接反映了底层的极化子波函数。将新型的非平衡声子时间与动量分辨实验探针与新计算方法相结合,有望用基于第一性原理、针对特定材料的极化子及其性质的定量理解,补充通过模型哈密顿量获得的定性结果。

英文摘要:

A combined experimental and computational methodology for interrogating the phonon contribution to polaron formation in real materials is developed. Using LiF as an example, we show that the recent ab-initio theory of Sio et. al [PRL 122, 246403 (2019)] makes predictions of the momentum- and branch dependent phonon amplitides in polaron quasiparticles that are testable using ultrafast electron diffuse scattering (UEDS) and related techniques. The large electron polaron in LiF has UEDS signatures that are qualitatively similar to those expected from a simple point-defect model, but the small hole polaron exhibits a profoundly anisotropic UEDS pattern that is in poor agreement with a point-defect model. We also show that these polaron diffuse scattering signatures are directly emblematic of the underlying polaron wavefunction. The combination of new time and momentum resolved experimental probes of nonequilibrium phonons with novel computational methods promises to complement the qualitative results obtained via model Hamiltonians with a first principles, material-specific quantiative understanding of polarons and their properties.
