Topics to be covered during the school include:
- Ab initio many-body methods for electron-phonon physics
- Boltzmann transport equation for carrier transport
- Migdal-Eliashberg theory of phonon-mediated superconductivity
- Phonon-assisted indirect optical absorption
- Polaronic states and self-trapping
- Special displacement method for finite-temperature calculations
- GW and GW-Bethe-Salpeter-equation theories for excited states
- Quasiparticle band structures, optical phenomena, and exciton physics
- GW perturbation theory for electron-phonon coupling with self-energy effects
Hands-on sessions will be based on the following software:
