声子频率梳已在kHz-MHz范围内通过非线性驱动在实验和理论上得到证实；然而，它们在GHz-THz范围内的自发形成仍然罕见。我们研究了范德华固体CrGeTe$_3$中频率梳的自发形成，其中间隔约2 cm$^{-1}$的梳状结构曾被实验上提出出现在一个平坦声子模式中，但现在被报道源于同位素分布。我们使用机器学习增强的分子动力学模拟进行的谱能量密度计算显示，在50 K和200 K下，同一模式中出现了间隔约0.1和0.6 cm$^{-1}$的梳状特征。然而，梳状特征的间隔与声子线宽相当，使得频率梳的精确识别具有挑战性。通过对CrGeTe$_3$不同模式的全面分析，我们确定了在实验分辨率之外清晰观察梳状结构的两个条件：（i）一个分子内或孤立模式，具有由声子自相互作用引起的相当大的三阶或更高阶非谐性；（ii）有限的声子散射通道。我们对其他范德华固体的分析强调，WSe$_2$的近平坦分子内$E_{2g}$和$A_{2u}$声子模式满足这些条件。详细计算表明，在$E_{2g}$和$A_{2u}$声子模式中，分别通过四声子和五声子本征态的相干叠加，形成了间隔为1.7和0.67 cm$^{-1}$的自发频率梳。文献中可用的$E_{2g}$模式拉曼散射数据提供了初步的（如果不是结论性的）梳状结构形成的证据。我们的发现提供了更深入的理解，并为工程化长寿命声子频率梳以实现各种实际应用开辟了途径。
英文摘要
Phononic frequency combs have been demonstrated experimentally and theoretically in the kHz-MHz regime under nonlinear driving; however, their spontaneous formation in the GHz-THz regime remains rare. We investigate the spontaneous formation of frequency combs in van der Waals solid CrGeTe$_3$, where combs of spacing $\sim$2 cm$^{-1}$ were experimentally proposed to occur in a flat phonon mode but are now reported to originate from isotopic distribution. Our spectral energy density calculations using machine-learning-augmented molecular dynamics simulations show comb-like features with reduced spacings of $\sim$0.1 and 0.6 cm$^{-1}$ in the same mode at 50 and 200 K. However, the spacings of the comb-like features are comparable to the phonon linewidth, making precise identification of the frequency comb challenging. From a comprehensive analysis of different modes of CrGeTe$_3$, we identified two conditions to distinctively observe the combs beyond the experimental resolution: (i) an intramolecular or isolated mode with reasonably large third- or higher-order anharmonicity from phonon self-interaction and (ii) limited phonon scattering channels. Our analysis of other van der Waals solids highlighted that these conditions are met for the nearly flat intramolecular $E_{2g}$ and $A_{2u}$ phonon modes of WSe$_2$. The detailed calculations showed the formation of a spontaneous frequency comb with spacings of 1.7 and 0.67 cm$^{-1}$ from coherent superposition of four and five-phonon eigenstates in the $E_{2g}$ and $A_{2u}$ phonon modes, respectively. Available Raman scattering data of the $E_{2g}$ mode in the literature provide preliminary, if not conclusive, evidence of comb formation. Our findings offer a deeper understanding and open avenues for engineering long-lived phononic frequency combs for various practical applications.
