Abstract: | Decoupling of an electron-ion interacting system is considered and the pseudopotential method of Phillips and Kleinman is extended to include the effect of electron-phonon interactions. It is shown that the effective potential experienced by a decoupled electron is the instantaneous pseudopotential averaged over all possible phonon states. The averaged pseudopotential is not only periodic but also temperature-dependent. After decoupling, a simple procedure for calculating single-electron excitation energies resulting from the coupling term is given and the result is formally in agreement with that obtained by Green's function method. |
