The electron-phonon coupling (g) parameter plays a critical role in the ultrafast transport of heat, charge, and spin in metallic materials. However, the exact determination of the g parameter is challenging because of the complicated process during the non-equilibrium state. In this study, we investigate the g parameters of ferromagnetic 3d transition metal (FM) layers, Fe and Co, using time-domain thermoreflectance. We measure a transient increase in temperature of Au in an FM/Au bilayer; the Au layer efficiently detects the strong heat flow during the non-equilibrium between electrons and phonons in FM. The g parameter of the FM is determined by analyzing the temperature dynamics using thermal circuit modeling. The determined g values are 8.8–9.4 × 1017 W m−3 K−1 for Fe and 9.6–12.2 × 1017 W m−3 K−1 for Co. Our results demonstrate that all 3d transition FMs have a similar g value, in the order of 1018 W m−3 K−1.

We use the Feynman–Haken path-integral formalism to obtain the polaronic correction to the ground state energy of an electron in a polar semiconductor quantum dot with parabolic confinement in both two and three dimensions. We perform calculations for the entire range of the electron–phonon coupling parameter and for arbitrary confinement length. We apply our results to several semiconductor quantum dots and show that the polaronic effect in some of these dots can be considerably large if the dot sizes are made smaller than a few nanometers.

ABSTRACTThe dimensionless electron-phonon coupling parameter in alkali metal-doped fullerenes isevaluated in a model whereby the electrons are treated within a tight binding formalism.The phonon mode frequencies and eigenvectors are obtained from a lattice dynamical modelwhich accurately fits all available experimental data on these modes. It is shown that the electrormphonon interaction can account for the relatively high values of the superconducting transition temperatures in alkali-metal fullerenes.

Using the Eliashberg theory of superconductivity we have examined several properties of a model in which electrons are coupled only to rattling phonon modes represented by a sharp peak in the electron–phonon coupling function. Our choice of parameters was guided by experiments on β-pyrochlore oxide superconductor KOs2Os6. We have calculated the temperature dependence of the superconducting gap edge; the quasi-particle decay rate; the NMR relaxation rate assuming that the coupling between the nuclear spins and the conduction electrons is via a contact hyperfine interaction, which would be appropriate for the O-site in KOs2Os6; and the microwave conductivity. We examined the limit of very strong coupling by considering three values of the electron–phonon coupling parameter λ = 2.38, 3, and 5 and did not assume that the rattler frequency Ω0 is temperature dependent in the superconducting state. We obtained a very unusual temperature dependence of the superconducting gap edge Δ(T), very much like the one extracted from photoemission experiments on KOs2O6.

External stress is an effective tool to modulate the Fermi surface topology, logarithmic average frequency, and electron–phonon coupling parameter of dense H3S and thus has a sensitive and considerable effect to the superconducting critical temperature.

The modified tight-binding approximation has been analyzed in detail and is applied to the derivation of an expression for electron-phonon spectral function (EPSF) which enters the strong coupling equations of superconductivity. Numerical calculations of the EPSF and the electron phonon coupling parameter λ for five transition metals, V, Nb, Mo, W, Ta have been performed.

The ratio 2Δ g / T c . where Δ g is the gap edge, T c is the critical temperature, is calculated in the framework of the model of strong electron-phonon coupling. Both isotropic and anisotropic pairing cases are considered. It is shown that the isotropic Eliashberg model can not account for the large values of the ratio 2Δ g / T c for the reasonable values of the electron-phonon coupling parameter λ, while anisotropic pairing can resolve this problem.
