摘要：
In polar semiconductors and oxides, the long-range nature of the electron-phonon interaction is a bottleneck to compute charge transport from first principles. In this talk, I will present an efficient ab initio scheme to compute and converge the electron-phonon relaxation times and electron mobility in polar materials. We applied our approach to GaAs, where using the Boltzmann equation with state-dependent relaxation times, we computed mobilities in excellent agreement with experiment. I will also show real-time simulations of hot carrier relaxation in GaN from first-principles.
