Defect trapped polarons and bipolarons are found to strongly enhance the nonlinear susceptibility of the material, in particular if localized at NbV–VLi defect pairs. This is essentially a consequence of the polaronic excitation resulting in relaxation-induced gap states. The occupation of these levels leads to strongly enhanced χ(2) coefficients and allows for the spatial and transient modification of the second-harmonic generation of macroscopic samples.}}, author = {{Kozub, Agnieszka L. and Schindlmayr, Arno and Gerstmann, Uwe and Schmidt, Wolf Gero}}, issn = {{2469-9969}}, journal = {{Physical Review B}}, pages = {{174110}}, publisher = {{American Physical Society}}, title = {{{Polaronic enhancement of second-harmonic generation in lithium niobate}}}, doi = {{10.1103/PhysRevB.104.174110}}, volume = {{104}}, year = {{2021}}, } @article{10024, abstract = {{The influence of electronic many-body interactions, spin-orbit coupling, and thermal lattice vibrations on the electronic structure of lithium niobate is calculated from first principles. Self-energy calculations in the GW approximation show that the inclusion of self-consistency in the Green function G and the screened Coulomb potential W opens the band gap far stronger than found in previous G0W0 calculations but slightly overestimates its actual value due to the neglect of excitonic effects in W. A realistic frozen-lattice band gap of about 5.9 eV is obtained by combining hybrid density functional theory with the QSGW0 scheme. The renormalization of the band gap due to electron-phonon coupling, derived here using molecular dynamics as well as density functional perturbation theory, reduces this value by about 0.5 eV at room temperature. Spin-orbit coupling does not noticeably modify the fundamental gap but gives rise to a Rashba-like spin texture in the conduction band.}}, author = {{Riefer, Arthur and Friedrich, Michael and Sanna, Simone and Gerstmann, Uwe and Schindlmayr, Arno and Schmidt, Wolf Gero}}, issn = {{2469-9969}}, journal = {{Physical Review B}}, number = {{7}}, publisher = {{American Physical Society}}, title = {{{LiNbO3 electronic structure: Many-body interactions, spin-orbit coupling, and thermal effects}}}, doi = {{10.1103/PhysRevB.93.075205}}, volume = {{93}}, year = {{2016}}, }
