Anharmonic coupling between electrons and TO phonons in the vicinity of a ferroelectric quantum critical point
We explore a mechanism that allows to couple electrons with the transverse-optical (TO) phonon branch in a regime when the TO mode becomes highly anharmonic and drives the ferroelectric phase transition. We show that this anharmonicity, which leads to a collective motion of ions, is able to couple e...
