摘要
Electron-phonon renormalization and phonon anharmonicity in metals are investigated by employing density functional theory based first-principles electronic structure methods. Using doped silicon, diamond, and MgB2 as examples, it is shown that phonon anharmonicity may be significantly renormalized by electron-phonon interactions, especially for phonon modes that couple strongly with electrons. The unusually large third-order anharmonic potential of the E-2g phonon in MgB2 is largely due to the electron-phonon renormalization effect. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
