Formation of swift heavy ion tracks requires extremely fast energy transfer between excited electrons and a lattice. However, electron-phonon energy exchange is too slow, as known from laser-irradiation experiments and calculations. We resolve this contradiction noticing that electron-phonon coupling is not the sole mechanism of energy exchange between electrons and ions: heating of electrons also alters potential energy surface of atoms, accelerating them and increasing their kinetic energy.

Beryllium was recently discovered to harbor a Dirac nodal line (DNL) in its bulk phase and the DNL-induced non-trivial drumhead-like surface states (DNSSs) on its (0001) surface, rationalizing several already-existing historic puzzles [Phys. Rev. Let
t., textbf{117}, 096401 (2016)]. However, to date the underlying mechanism, as to why its (0001) surface exhibits an anomalously large electron-phonon coupling effect ($lambda_{e-ph}^s$ $approx$ 1.0), remains unresolved. Here, by means of first-principles calculations we have evidenced that the coupling of the DNSSs with the phononic states mainly contributes to its novel surface emph{e-ph} enhancement. Besides that the experimentally observed $lambda_{e-ph}^s$ and the main Eliashberg coupling function (ECF) peaks have been reproduced well, we have decomposed the ECF, $alpha^{2}$$F$(emph{k},textbf{emph{q}};emph{v}), and the emph{e-ph} coupling strength $lambda(emph{k},textbf{emph{q}};emph{v})$ as a function of each electron momentum (emph{k}), each phonon momentum (textbf{emph{q}}) and each phonon mode ($v$), evidencing the robust connection between the DNSSs and both $alpha^{2}$$F$(emph{k},textbf{emph{q}};emph{v}) and $lambda(emph{k},textbf{emph{q}};emph{v})$. The results reveal the strong emph{e-ph} coupling between the DNSSs and the phonon modes, which contributes over 80$%$ of the $lambda_{e-ph}^s$ coefficient on the Be (0001) surface. It highlights that the anomalously large emph{e-ph} coefficient on the Be (0001) surface can be attributed to the presence of its DNL-induced DNSSs, clarifying the long-term debated mechanism.
Electron-phonon coupling directly determines the stability of cooperative order in solids, including superconductivity, charge and spin density waves. Therefore, the ability to enhance or reduce electron-phonon coupling by optical driving may open up
new possibilities to steer materials functionalities, potentially at high speeds. Here we explore the response of bilayer graphene to dynamical modulation of the lattice, achieved by driving optically-active in-plane bond stretching vibrations with femtosecond mid-infrared pulses. The driven state is studied by two different ultrafast spectroscopic techniques. Firstly, TeraHertz time-domain spectroscopy reveals that the Drude scattering rate decreases upon driving. Secondly, the relaxation rate of hot quasi-particles, as measured by time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, increases. These two independent observations are quantitatively consistent with one another and can be explained by a transient three-fold enhancement of the electron-phonon coupling constant. The findings reported here provide useful perspective for related experiments, which reported the enhancement of superconductivity in alkali-doped fullerites when a similar phonon mode was driven.
The electron-phonon coupling strength in the spin-split valence band maximum of single-layer MoS$_2$ is studied using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory-based calculations. Values of the electron-phonon coupling p
arameter $lambda$ are obtained by measuring the linewidth of the spin-split bands as a function of temperature and fitting the data points using a Debye model. The experimental values of $lambda$ for the upper and lower spin-split bands at K are found to be 0.05 and 0.32, respectively, in excellent agreement with the calculated values for a free-standing single-layer MoS$_2$. The results are discussed in the context of spin and phase-space restricted scattering channels, as reported earlier for single-layer WS$_2$ on Au(111). The fact that the absolute valence band maximum in single-layer MoS$_2$ at K is almost degenerate with the local valence band maximum at $Gamma$ can potentially be used to tune the strength of the electron-phonon interaction in this material.
Time and angular resolved photoelectron spectroscopy is a powerful technique to measure electron dynamics in solids. Recent advances in this technique have facilitated band and energy resolved observations of the effect that excited phonons, have on
the electronic structure. Here, we show with the help of textit{ab initio} simulations that the Fourier analysis of time-resolved measurements of solids with excited phonon modes leads, in fact, to an observation of the band- and mode-resolved electron-phonon coupling directly from the experimental data and without need for theoretical computations.
The role of reduced dimensionality and of the surface on electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling in silicon nanowires is determined from first principles. Surface termination and chemistry is found to have a relatively small influence, whereas reduced dimens
ionality fundamentally alters the behavior of deformation potentials. As a consequence, electron coupling to breathing modes emerges that cannot be described by conventional treatments of e-ph coupling. The consequences for physical properties such as scattering lengths and mobilities are significant: the mobilities for [110] grown wires are 6 times larger than those for [100] wires, an effect that cannot be predicted without the form we find for Si nanowire deformation potentials.
