What is it about?

The strength of phonon anharmonicity is investigated in the framework of the Density Functional Per- turbation Theory via an applied constant electric field.physical quantities of the semiconductors are calculated in presence of the electron–phonon interaction directly and, phonon–phonon interaction, indirectly

Why is it important?

The present approach, which is in good agreement with previous theoretical and experimental studies, can be introduced as a benchmark to simply investigate the anharmonicity and pertinent consequences in materials.

Perspectives

it pro-poses a fast approach to probe the anharmonicity in semi-conductors and insulators.
