Electron-Phonon Interactions and Charge Transport from First-Principles Calculations: Complex Crystals, Higher Order Coupling, and Steps Toward the Small Polaron Regime

Electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions quantify the strength of interplay between charge carriers and lattice vibrations and critically determine the transport properties in materials near room temperature. Depending on the coupling strength, charge carriers can exhibit behaviors ranging from propagati...
