Researchers use ab-initio density functional theory (DFT) to unravel the effects of lattice vibrations on the electronic and optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures and how they can influence carrier dynamics in the femtoseconds to tens of picosecond time range. The scientific interest resides in the understanding of fundamental physics and in a reliable assessment of the importance of carrier relaxation, dephasing, and temperature effects, which are relevant for semiconductor nanodevices.
