Electron-Phonon Interactions from DFPT within an All-Electron Framework — •Sebastian Tillack, Pasquale Pavone, and Claudia Draxl — Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and IRIS Adlershof, 12489 Berlin, Germany

The interplay between electrons and the motions of nuclei in solids, described in terms of phonons, play a crucial role in the modeling of functional materials, particularly for understanding temperature dependent effects. We present an implementation of density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT) within a full-potential all-electron framework as implemented in the code exciting [1]. Our implementation allows one to compute phonons as well as the linear response to external electric fields. We use DFPT calculations to study lattice vibrations and electron-phonon interactions (EPIs) by means of many-body perturbation theory in β-Ga2O3. The electron self-energy contribution is computed as a function of temperature from which various properties such as quasi-particle energies, electron linewidths, and spectral functions are derived. We further incorporate many-body electron-electron interactions described by the GW method. Beyond that, our work creates the foundation for a fully ab initio study of the effect of EPIs on optical excitations.
