Electrides are an emerging class of materials with excess electrons localized in interstices and acting as anionic interstitial quasi-atoms (ISQs). The spatial ion-electron separation means that electrides can be treated physically as ionic crystals, and this unusual behavior leads to extraordinary physical and chemical phenomena. Here, a completely different effect in electrides is predicted. By recognizing the long-range Coulomb interactions between matrix atoms and ISQs that are unique in electrides, a nonanalytic correction to the forces exerted on matrix atoms is proposed. This correction gives rise to an LA-TA splitting in the acoustic branch of lattice phonons near the zone center, similar to the well-known LO-TO splitting in the phonon spectra of ionic compounds. The factors that govern this splitting are investigated, with isotropic fcc-Li and anisotropic hP4-Na as the typical examples. It is found that not all electrides can induce a detectable splitting, and criteria are given for this type of splitting. The present prediction unveils the rich phenomena in electrides and could lead to unprecedented applications.
Plasmon opens up the possibility to efficiently couple light and matter at sub-wavelength scales. In general, the plasmon frequency is dependent of carrier density. This dependency, however, renders fundamentally a weak plasmon intensity at low frequ
Electrides are special ionic solids with excess cavity-trapped electrons serving as anions. Despite the extensive studies on electrides, the interplay between electrides and magnetism is not well understood due to the lack of stable magnetic electrid
The spin-orbit interaction generally leads to spin splitting (SS) of electron and hole energy states in solids, a splitting that is characterized by a scaling with the wavevector $bf k$. Whereas for {it 3D bulk zincblende} solids the electron (heavy
Experimental studies of anomalous Hall effect are performed for thin filmed Ta/TbFeCo in a wide range of temperatures and magnetic fields up to 3 T. While far from the compensation temperature (TM=277 K) the field dependence has a conventional shape
The recently developed theory of topological quantum chemistry (TQC) has built a close connection between band representations in momentum space and orbital characters in real space. It provides an effective way to diagnose topological materials, lea
