Article Abstract
A substantial amount of evidence indicates a relevant role played by the nonlocal electron-phonon couplings in the mechanism of charge transport in organic semiconductors. In this work, we compute the nonlocal electron-phonon coupling for the prototypical molecular semiconductors rubrene and tetracene using the phonon modes obtained from ab initio methods. We do not make the rigid molecular approximation allowing a mixing of intra- and intermolecular modes, and we use a supercell approach to sample the momentum space. Indeed, we find that some low-frequency intramolecular modes are mixed with the rigid-molecule translations and rotations in the modes with the strongest electron-phonon coupling. To rationalize the results we propose a convenient decomposition of the delocalized lattice modes into molecular-based modes.

The two temperature model (TTM) is commonly used in metallic crystals under irradiation to establish predictions beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Examining in normal conditions, the heat spike decrease in TTM we remarked that oddly the decrease rate is independent from electron conductivity when the thermal heterogeneity has size inferior to electron mean free path whilst for larger sizes the decrease is essentially driven by electron conductivity. An additional non-local coupling was found to be necessary to recover a relaxation time depending on the electron conductivity at all sizes, as expected for metals.

In this work, we perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of CO molecules chemisorbed on Cu(110) under femtosecond laser irradiation. We use the two temperature model and a previously developed potential energy surface based on density functional theory total energies (obtained using the nonlocal vdW-DF2 functional) and parameterized using artificial neural networks. We find that laser irradiation induces diffusion parallel to [1̄10] much more efficiently than parallel to [001] due to a significantly smaller energy barrier in the former case (i.

Evaluation of the charge transport property of organic semiconductors requires exact quantum dynamics simulation of large systems. We present a numerically nearly exact approach to investigate carrier transport dynamics in organic semiconductors by extending the non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equation with complex frequency modes to a forward-backward scheme and by solving it using the matrix product state (MPS) approach. By utilizing the forward-backward formalism for noise generation, the bath correlation function can be effectively treated as a temperature-independent imaginary part, enabling a more accurate decomposition with fewer complex frequency modes.

Helical liquids, formed by time-reversal pairs of interacting electrons in topological edge channels, provide a platform for stabilizing topological superconductivity upon introducing local and nonlocal pairings through the proximity effect. Here, we investigate the effects of electron-electron interactions and phonons on the topological superconductivity in two parallel channels of such helical liquids. Interactions between electrons in different channels tend to reduce nonlocal pairing, suppressing the topological regime.

Transition metal dichalcogenides are at the center of intense scientific activity due to their promising applications, as well as the growing interest in basic research related to their electronic and dielectric properties. The layered structure of single-(ML) and two-layer (2ML) samples presents exciting features for light-matter interaction, electron transport, and electronic and optoelectronic applications. Lattice vibrations and electron-phonon interactions are essential for studying the above mentioned topics.
