What is Photoconductivity Calculations of Bilayer Graphene from First Principles and Deformation-potential Approach about?

We report first-principles calculations of electron-phonon coupling in bilayer graphene and the corresponding contribution to carrier scattering. At the phonon $\Gamma$ point, electrons with energies less than 200 meV are scattered predominantly by LA$^\prime$ and TA$^\prime$ modes while higher-energy electron scattering is dominated by optical phonon modes. Based on a two-temperature model, heat transfer from electrons with an initial temperature of 2000 K to the lattice (phonons) with an initial temperature of 300 K is computed, and in the overall relaxation process, most of this energy scatters into K-point phonon optical modes due to their strong coupling with electrons and their high energies. A Drude model is used to calculate photoconductivity for bilayer graphene with different doping levels. Good agreement with prior experimental trends for both the real and imaginary components of photoconductivity confirms the model's applicability. The effects of doping levels and electron-phonon scattering on photoconductiviy are analyzed. We also extract acoustic and optical deformation potentials from average scattering rates obtained from density functional theory (DFT) calculations
