In this work, we lay down the ab initio many-body quantum theory of electrons and phonons in equilibrium as well as in steady-state or time-varying settings. Our focus is on the harmonic approximation, but the developed tools can readily incorporate anharmonic effects. We begin by showing the necessity of determining the ab initio Hamiltonian in a self-consistent manner to ensure the existence of an equilibrium state. We then identify the correct partitioning into a “noninteracting” and an “interacting” part to carry out diagrammatic expansions in terms of dressed propagators and screened interactions. The final outcome is the finite-temperature nonequilibrium extension of the Hedin equations, showcasing the emergence of the coupling between electrons and coherent phonons through the time-local Ehrenfest diagram. The Hedin equations have limited practical utility for real-time simulations of systems driven out of equilibrium by external fields. To overcome this limitation, we leverage the versatility of the diagrammatic approach to generate a closed system of differential equations for the dressed propagators and nuclear displacements. These are the Kadanoff-Baym equations for electrons and phonons. The formalism naturally merges with the theory of conserving approximations, which guarantee the satisfaction of the continuity equation and the conservation of total energy during time evolution. As an example, we show that the popular Born-Oppenheimer approximation is not conserving whereas its dynamical extension is conserving, provided that the electrons are treated in the Fan-Migdal approximation with a dynamically screened electron-phonon coupling. We also derive the formal solution of the Kadanoff-Baym equations for nonequilibrium steady states, which is useful for studies in photovoltaics and optoelectronics. Interestingly, the expansion of the phononic Green’s function around the quasiphonon energies points to a correlation-induced splitting of the phonon dispersion in materials with no time-reversal invariance.

Acoustic wave tunneling across a vacuum gap between two piezoelectric crystals with arbitrary symmetry and orientation
Geng, Zhuoran; Maasilta, Ilari J. (American Physical Society (APS), 2022)It is not widely appreciated that an acoustic wave can “jump” or “tunnel” across a vacuum gap between two piezoelectric solids, nor has the general case been formulated or studied in detail. Here, we remedy that situation, ... -
