  • The effects caused by the ionization on the electronic structure and geometry on C60 are studied by the modified Su-Schriffer-Heeger (SSH) model Hamiltonian. After the ionization of C60, the bond structure of the singly charged C60 cation is deformed from Ih symmetry of the neutral C60 to D5d, C1, and C2, which is dependent upon the change of the electron-phonon coupling strength. The electronic structure of the C60+ cation ground state undergoes Jahn-Teller distortion in the weak electron-phonon coupling region, while self-localized states occur in the intermediate electron-phonon region, but delocalized electronic states appear again in the strong electron-phonon region. In the realistic strength of the electron-phonon coupling in C60, the bond structure of C60+ shows the layer structure of the bond distortion and a polaron-like state is formed.

  • We investigate the electrical and thermal transport properties of a sesquicarbide superconductor $La_2C_3$, including electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power, and thermal conductivity. The electrical resistivity exhibits a typical metallic character with a saturation behavior at high temperatures. The thermoelectric power shows a metallic behavior with pronounced phonon-drag effect, comparable with pure metals. The broad peak of the thermal conductivity is observed in the superconducting state, which is rapidly suppressed by magnetic fields. These observations suggest that the electron-phonon scattering is significant in $La_2C_3$, which is relevant with the relatively high-$T_c$ in $La_2C_3$ through strong electron-phonon coupling with low frequency phonon modes.

  • In this study, we explore the anisotropy of electron-phonon coupling (EPC) constant in epitaxially grown MgB2 films on c-axis oriented Al2O3, examining its correlation with the critical temperature (Tc) and local structural disorder assessed through polarized Raman scattering. Analysis of the polarized Raman spectra reveals angle-dependent variations in the intensity of the phonon spectra. The Raman active mode originating from the boron plane, along with two additional phonon modes from the phonon density of states (PDOS) induced by lattice distortion, was distinctly observed. Persistent impurity scattering, likely attributed to oxygen diffusion, was noted at consistent frequencies across all measurement angles. The EPC values derived from the primary Raman active phonon do not significantly vary with changing observation angles, followed by that the Tc values calculated using the Allen and Dynes formula remain relatively constant across all polarization angles. Although the E2g phonon mode plays a crucial role in the EPC mechanism, the determination of Tc values in MgB2 involves not only electron-E2g coupling but also contributions from other phonon modes.

  • We study the linear-nonlinear quantum transport theory of Wannier-Landau transition system in the confinement of electrons by a square well confinement potential. We use the projected Liouville equation method with the ensemble density projection technique. We select the dynamic value under a linearly oscillatory external field. We derive the dynamic value formula and the memory factor functions in three electron phonon coupling systems and electron impurity coupling systems of two transition types, the intra-band transitions and inter-band transitions. We obtain results that can be applied directly to numerical analyses. For simple example of application, we analyze the absorption power and line-widths of ZnO, through the numerical calculation of the theoretical result in the Landau system.

  • The authors studied the conduction mechanism in an uranium doped low dimensional magnetic system $Ca_2CuO_3$. This system exhibits the S=1/2 quasi 1D antiferromagnetic chains of -Cu-O- with strong magnetic coupling, and demonstrates continuous semiconductor-like behavior with constant covalent insulator character. This paper identifies the conduction is due to thermally activated phonon-assisted electron hopping between dopant uranium sites. The parameter a, the characteristic for hopping probability, was determined to be 0.18 ${\AA}^{-1}$. This value manifests a relatively stronger hopping probability for $Ca_2CuO_3$ as compared with other uranium doped ceramics.

  • We investigated theoretically the quantum optical transition properties of Si, in quasi 2-Dimensinal Landau splitting system, based on quantum transport theory. We apply the quantum transport theory (QTR) to the system in the confinement of electrons by square well confinement potential under linearly polarized oscillating field. We use the projected Liouville equation method with Equilibrium Average Projection Scheme (EAPS). In order to analyze the quantum transition, we compare the temperature and the magnetic field dependencies of the QTLW and the QTLS on four transition processes, namely, the intra-leval transition process, the inter-leval transition process, the phonon emission transition process and the phonon absorption transition process.

  • Band parameters and superconductivity of yttrium hypocarbide ($Y_2C$) have been investigated. The computations are performed using first-principles pseudopotential method within a generalized gradient approximation. The equilibrium lattice parameters have been determined and compared with experiment. Moreover, the material of interest is found to be stiffer for strains along the a-axis than those along the c-axis. A band-structure analysis of $Y_2C$ implied that the latter has a metallic character. The examination of Eliashberg Spectral Function indicates that Y-related phonon modes as well as C-related phonon modes are considerably involved in the progress of scattering of electrons. By integrating this function, the value of the average electron-phonon coupling parameter (${\lambda}$) is found to be 0.362 suggesting thus that $Y_2C$ is a weak coupling Bardeen-Copper-Schrieffer superconductor. The use of a reasonable value for the effective Coulomb repulsion parameter (${\mu}^*=0.10$) yielded a superconducting critical temperature $T_c$ of 0.59 K which is comparable with a previous theoretical value of 0.33 K. Upon compression (at pressure of 10 GPa) ${\lambda}$ and $T_c$ are increased to be 0.366 and 0.89 K, respectively, showing thus the pressure effect on the superconductivity in $Y_2C$. The spin-polarization calculations showed that the difference in the total energy between the magnetic and non-magnetic $Y_2C$ is weak.

  • In this work, we summarize the calculation processes of obtaining a scattering factor using with the equilibrium average projection scheme (EAPS), with moderately weak coupling (MWC) interaction, and obtain the line-shape formula of an electron-deformation phonon interacting system interested in the confinement of electrons by squarwell confinement potentials in quantum two dimensional system.. Through the numerical analysis, we analysis the magnetic dependence of absorption power, P(B) in several temperature and frequency difference dependence of absorption power $P({\Delta}{\omega})$, in several external field, where ${\Delta}{\omega}={\omega}-{\omega}_0$ and ${\omega}({\omega}_0)$ is the angular frequency (the cyclotron resonance frequency). The result of equilibrium average projection scheme (EAPS) in SER-MWC explains the properties of quantum transition quite well.

  • We investigated theoretically the magnetic field dependence of the quantum optical transition of qusi 2-Dimensional Landau splitting system, in CdS and ZnO. In this study, we investigate electron confinement by square well confinement potential in magnetic field system using quantum transport theory(QTR). In this study, theoretical formulas for numerical analysis are derived using Liouville equation method and Equilibrium Average Projection Scheme (EAPS). In this study, the absorption power, P (B), and the Quantum Transition Line Widths (QTLWS) of the magnetic field in CdS and ZnO can be deduced from the numerical analysis of the theoretical equations, and the optical quantum transition line shape (QTLS) is found to increase. We also found that QTLW, ${\gamma}(B)_{total}$ of CdS < ${\gamma}(B)_{total}$ of ZnO in the magnetic field region B<25 Tesla.
