We develop a first-principles approach for the treatment of vibronic interactions in solids that overcomes the main limitations of state-of-the-art electron-phonon coupling formalisms. In particular, anharmonic effects in the nuclear dynamics are accounted to all orders via ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. This non-perturbative, self-consistent approach evaluates the response of the wave functions along the computed anharmonic trajectory; thus it fully considers the coupling between nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom. We validate and demonstrate the merits of the concept by calculating temperature-dependent, momentum-resolved spectral functions for silicon and the cubic perovskite SrTiO3, a strongly anharmonic material featuring soft modes. In the latter case, our approach reveals that anharmonicity and higher-order vibronic couplings contribute substantially to the electronic-structure at finite-temperatures, noticeably affecting band gaps and effective masses, and hence macroscopic properties such as transport coefficients.

We propose a tunable electronic band gap and zero-energy modes in periodic heterosubstrate-induced graphene superlattices. Interestingly, there is an approximate linear relation between the band gap and the proportion of inhomogeneous substrate (i.e.
, percentages of different components) in the proposed superlattice, and the effect of structural disorder on the relation is discussed. In inhomogeneous substrate with equal widths, zero-energy states emerge in the form of Dirac points by using asymmetric potentials, and the positions of Dirac points are addressed analytically. Further, the Dirac point exists at $mathbf{k}=mathbf{0}$ only for specific potentials; every time it appears, the group velocity vanishes in $k_y$ direction and the resonance occurs. For general cases that inhomogeneous substrate with unequal widths, a part of zero-energy states are described analytically, and differently, they are not always Dirac points. Our prediction may be realized on the heterosubstrate such as SiO$_2$/BN type.
We report the band structures and excitonic properties of delafossites $CuMO_2$ (M = Al, Ga, In, Sc, Y, Cr) calculated using the state-of-the-art $textit{GW}$-BSE approach. We find that all the delafossites are indirect band gap semiconductors with l
arge exciton binding energies, varying from 0.24 to 0.44 eV. The lowest and strongest exciton, mainly contributed from either Cu 3$textit{d}$ $rightarrow$ Cu 3$textit{p}$ (Al, Ga, In) or Cu 3$textit{d}$ $rightarrow$ M 3$textit{d}$ (M = Sc, Y, Cr) transitions, is always located at $L$ point of the rhombohedral Brillouin zone. Taking the electron-hole effect into account, our theoretical band gaps exhibit nice agreement with experiments.
Electronic structures of SiC nanoribbons have been studied by spin-polarized density functional calculations. The armchair nanoribbons are nonmagnetic semiconductor, while the zigzag nanoribbons are magnetic metal. The spin polarization in zigzag SiC
nanoribbons is originated from the unpaired electrons localized on the ribbon edges. Interestingly, the zigzag nanoribbons narrower than $sim$4 nm present half-metallic behavior. Without the aid of external field or chemical modification, the metal-free half-metallicity predicted for narrow SiC zigzag nanoribbons opens a facile way for nanomaterial spintronics applications.
First-principle FLAPW-GGA band structure calculations are employed to obtain the structural, electronic properties and chemical bonding picture for two related layered phases, namely, quaternary oxyarsenides LaZnAsO and YZnAsO. These compounds are fo
und to be direct-transition type semiconductors with the GGA gaps of about 0.65-1.30 eV. The peculiarities of chemical bonding in these phases are investigated and discussed in comparison with quaternary oxyarsenide LaFeAsO - a basic phase for the newly discovered 26-52K superconductors.
Lattice vibrations of point defects are essential for understanding non-radiative electron and hole capture in semiconductors as they govern properties including persistent photoconductivity and Shockley-Read-Hall recombination rate. Although the har
monic approximation is sufficient to describe a defect with small lattice relaxation, for cases of large lattice relaxation it is likely to break down. We describe a first-principles procedure to account for anharmonic carrier capture and apply it to the important case of the textit{DX} center in GaAs. This is a system where the harmonic approximation grossly fails. Our treatment of the anharmonic Morse-like potentials accurately describes the observed electron capture barrier, predicting the absence of quantum tunnelling at low temperature, and a high hole capture rate that is independent of temperature. The model also explains the origin of the composition-invariant electron emission barrier. These results highlight an important shortcoming of the standard approach for describing point defect ionization that is accompanied by large lattice relaxation, where charge transfer occurs far from the equilibrium configuration.
