Adjustment of optical absorption in phosphorene through electron–phonon coupling and an electric field
We are happy to announce that Prof. Tran Cong Phong and colleagues recently published their work entitled "Adjustment of optical absorption in phosphorene through electron–phonon coupling and an electric field" in the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics
Abstract:
This study investigates the optical absorption of monolayer phosphorene, focusing on its response to the electron–phonon coupling (EPC) and an electric field. Using a tight-binding Hamiltonian model based on the Barišic–Labbe–Friedel–Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model and the Kubo formula, we calculate the electronic band structure and optical absorption characteristics. The anisotropic dispersion of carriers along armchair and zigzag directions leads to distinct optical responses. Positive and negative EPC effects increase and decrease hopping parameters, respectively, enlarging and reducing/closing the band gap. Moreover, both EPCs cause an admixture of blue and red shift spectrum along the armchair direction, while a red (blue) shift spectrum is observed for positive (negative) EPC along the zigzag direction. Incorporating electric field effects in the EPC increases band gaps for both positive and negative EPC activities, resulting in shifted optical peaks along both directions.
