Effective Field Theory for Acoustic and Pseudo-Acoustic Phonons in Solids

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Angelo Esposito, Emma Geoffray, Tom Melia, , | Summary: We present a relativistic effective field theory for the interaction between acoustic and gapped phonons in the limit of a small gap. We show that, while the former are the Goldstone modes associated with the spontaneous breaking of […]
