dc.description.abstract | Electron transport in anatase TiO2, which has important applications in oxide electronics and photocatalysis, is still poorly understood. We investigate the electron mobility in anatase
TiO2 by performing first-principles calculations of electron and phonon spectra as well as electron-phonon coupling. The formation of large polarons (quasiparticles formed by electrons interacting with phonons in a polar medium) leads to a renormalization of the electronic band structure, which we address using many-body perturbation theory. We correlate the lowering of the mobility of these quasiparticles to the renormalization of band velocities due to the electron-phonon interaction. These results explain why the mobility decreases with increasing temperature, as observed in experiments. | en_US |
