Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The proposal seeks to expand our understanding of superconducting and ferromagnetic oxides with strc electron-phonon interactions. We shall apply a new continuous-time quantum Monte-Carlo (QMC) algorithm calculate exact coherent band dispersions and the density of states of lattice polarons in the relevant region parameters, where any approximation might fail. We shall compute novel isotope effects on the electron b, structure and spectral functions, and compare our results with some analytical and semi-analytical approximate( and with current and future experimental observations in complex oxides.
