Abstract:
The electronic structure,lattice dynamics and electron-phonon interaction of FeTe0.5Se0.5 in two different structural models are investigated by using the first-principles.The results show that the electronic structures of the two structural models are similar to each other,and the electronic density of states near the Fermi level comes mainly from Fe d electrons.For both two models,we analyze the optical modes at the Γ point based on irreducible representation,and give the phonon spectra and the phonon density of the states.The electron-phonon coupling coefficients λ calculated by model 1 and model 2 are 0.20 and 0.22,respectively,which are both too small to explain the high superconducting transition temperature discovered in experiment.Therefore,we think that superconducting material FeTe0.5Se0.5 doesn’t belong to the conventional electron-phonon coupling mechanism,which is similar to the other Fe-based superconducting materials.
