Correlation between mechano – electronic features and scattering rates using deformation potential theory (DPT)

Abstract

This research paper has provided valuable insights into the electronic, mechanical, and transport properties of the Sr2RuO2F2 compound. The study shows that the Sr2RuO4 compound exhibits a metallic ground state and that the energy gap widens with oxygen substitution with fluorine. The concept of absolute deformation potential (ADP) and its correlation with band energies and strains is explained using deformation potential theory (DPT). The article also examines the mechanical features of Sr2RuO2F2 using the Voigt – Reuss – Hill approximation method and analyzes its elastic constants, bulk modulus, and shear modulus, indicating flexibility and suitability for optoelectronic applications. The role of acoustic phonons in scattering rates and carrier mobility in Sr2RuO2F2 and its potential for phonon – mediated superconductivity is explored. The intrinsic resistivity of electrons and holes under strain and its potential impact on superconductivity and electrical resistivity are also discussed. The insights provided by this study contribute to the current understanding of Sr2RuO2F2, and its potential applications.
