Dynamic dielectric function and phonon self-energy from electrons strongly correlated with acoustic phonons in 2D Dirac crystals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The unique structure of two-dimensional (2D) Dirac crystals, with electronic bands linear in the proximity of the Brillouin-zone boundary and the Fermi energy, creates anomalous situations where small Fermi-energy perturbations critically affect the electron-related lattice properties of the system. The Fermi-surface nesting (FSN) conditions determining such effects via electron–phonon interaction require accurate estimates of the crystal’s response function ( χ ) as a function of the phonon wavevector q for any values of temperature, as well as realistic hypotheses on the nature of the phonons involved. Numerous analytical estimates of χ ( q ) for 2D Dirac crystals beyond the Thomas–Fermi approximation have been so far carried out only in terms of dielectric response function χ ( q , ω ) , for photon and optical-phonon perturbations, due to relative ease of incorporating a q-independent oscillation frequency ( ω ) in calculation. Models accounting for Dirac-electron interaction with acoustic phonons, for which ω is linear to q and is therefore dispersive, are essential to understand many critical crystal properties, including electrical and thermal transport. The lack of such models has often led to the assumption that the dielectric response function χ ( q ) in these systems can be understood from free-electron behavior. Here, we show that, different from free-electron systems, χ ( q ) calculated for acoustic phonons in 2D Dirac crystals using the Lindhard model, exhibits a cuspidal point at the FSN condition. Strong variability of ∂ χ ∂ q persists also at finite temperatures, while χ ( q ) tend to infinity in the dynamic case where the speed of sound is small, albeit non negligible, over the Dirac-electron Fermi velocity. The implications of our findings for electron-acoustic phonon interaction and transport properties such as the phonon line width derived from the phonon self-energy will also be discussed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
