Collaboration Teams (CT) are small groups of researchers sharing their understanding of challenging topics, more particularly discussing the problems they are working on. This is how ETSF members develop theory and codes in an efficient way, avoiding duplication of efforts and joining researchers’ abundant ideas together. Any member is invited to create a Collaboration Team on a challenging topic.
Vibrational couplings play an important role for a large range of fields and applications, including temperature dependence of optical spectra, polaron-driven superconductivity, heat transport, current induced forces in charge transport, thermoelectric effects, photoemission spectroscopy, or defect physics in semiconductors. In the theoretical description of the corresponding materials and processes they are, however, often ignored. The proper inclusion of such effects poses a challenge for theory, since different interactions of comparable strength (electron-electron, electron-phonon) have to be taken into account on equal footing.
The Electron-Vibration collaboration team was established during the 2010 ETSF meeting in Berlin, in November 2010 (originally called Electron-Phonon team). Since then, there have been several other meetings.
