Abstract:A method for electron-phonon matrix element calculations based on a Fourier representation of the crystal potential is presented. This method is free from a number of drawbacks inherent to the rigid muffin-tin approximation. At the same time it is much easier realizable as compared with the first-principle frozen-phonon technique. The long-range interactions, the collective character of ion displacements in phonon modes, and effects due to in-sphere electron-ion potential anisotropy can be easily taken into ac… Show more
“…In a previous paper [3] we proposed a method capable to account for the non-muffin-tin corrections to the matrix elenients of the electron-phonon interaction (EPI). Unfortunately, Fourier representation of the crystal potential used in [3] results in a slow convergence of the perturbing potential, especially near nuclei. Here we present a new formulation of the problem free from the drawback mentioned and allowing one to make ii direct comparison with the RMTA.…”

We present a method for clcctron-phonon matrix clement calculations based on a rigid displacement of in-sphere electron dcnsitics. This method may be viewed as an extension of the famous rigid muffin-tin approximation. At tlie same time it allows one to take into account the long-range Coulomb interactions, tlie collective character of ion displacements in phonon modes, and effects due to the anisotropy of electron densities inside the muffin-tin sphcrcs. Non-muffin-tin corrections are shown to cause electron-ion scattering selection rule variations.
