3 M ar 2 00 7 Optical conductivity of polaronic charge carriers

چکیده
The optical conductivity of charge carriers coupled to quantum phonons is studied in the framework of the one-dimensional spinless Holstein model. For one electron, variational diagonalisation yields exact results in the thermodynamic limit, whereas at finite carrier density analytical approximations based on previous work on single-particle spectral functions are obtained. Particular emphasis is put on deviations from weak-coupling, small-polaron or one-electron theories occurring at intermediate coupling and/or finite carrier density. The analytical results are in surprisingly good agreement with exact data, and exhibit the characteristic polaronic excitations observed in experiments on manganites.

متن کاملElectrical conductivity anomaly in silver vadadium-tellurite glasses at temperatures higher than a characteristic temperature: evidence for an ionic-nonadiabatic polaronic mixed conduction
Electrical conduction anomaly was observed in the mixed ion-polaron regime for xAg2O-40TeO2-(60-x)V2O5 glassy system with 0 ≤x≤ 50 mol%, which were prepared by common melt quenching method. For the understudied glasses, the temperature dependence of dc electrical conductivity was measured from a characteristic temperature to 380 K, which certified their semiconducting nature. The measured condu...

Fröhlich-Coulomb model of high-temperature superconductivity and charge segregation in the cuprates. Abstract. We introduce a generic Fröhlich-Coulomb model of the oxides, which also includes infinite on-site (Hubbard) repulsion, and describe a simple analytical method of solving the multi-polaron problem in complex lattice structures. Two particular lattices, a zigzag ladder and a perovskite l...
متن کاملPolarons and Bipolarons in Holstein and Holstein t−J models by Dynamical Mean Field Theory
In system with strong electron-phonon (e-ph) interaction, the carriers lose mobility, ultimately acquiring polaronic character. A polaron is a state in which the phonon and electron degrees of freedom are strongly entangled, and the presence of an electron is associated to a finite lattice distortion, which in turn binds the electron leading to the so-called self-trapping effect. Polarons also ...
