Electron-phonon renormalization of the direct band gap of diamond

We calculate from first principles the temperature-dependent renormalization of the direct band gap of diamond arising from electron-phonon interactions. The calculated temperature dependence is in good agreement with spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements, and the zero-point renormalization of the...
