Polaron dynamics in a two-dimensional anharmonic Holstein model

Jahn–Teller and the Dynamics of Polaron Formation

We discuss a powerful algorithm for calculating static and dynamic properties of electron– phonon coupled systems with dynamic quantum phonons. The difference between Jahn–Teller polarons present in certain transition metal oxides and simpler Holstein polarons is explored. We calculate the dynamics of polaron formation from a bare injected electron, which has been measured in several recent exp...

Comment on "Ultrafast dynamics of polarons in conductive polyaniline: comparison of primary and secondary doped forms".

Time- and wavelength-resolved pump-probe measurements are performed on the conductive, primary and secondary doped, forms of polyaniline in solution to investigate the relaxation dynamics of photoexcited polarons. Contrasting dynamics observed in the two forms allow investigation of electronic (and structural) relaxation of this material. Pump pulse at 800 nm photoexcites an electron from the v...

Polaron band formation in the Holstein model

We present numerical exact results for the polaronic band structure of the Holstein molecular crystal model in one and two dimensions. The use of direct Lanczos diagonalization technique, preserving the full dynamics and quantum nature of phonons, allows us to analyze in detail the renormalization of both quasiparticle bandwidth and dispersion by the electron–phonon interaction. For the two–dim...

Polaron dynamics in a two-dimensional Holstein-Peierls system.

A semiclassical model for studying charge transport in a two-dimensional molecular lattice is presented and applied to both a well ordered system and a system with disorder. The model includes both intra- and inter-molecular electron-lattice interactions and the focus of the studies is to describe the dynamics of a charge carrier in the system. In particular, we study the dynamics of the system...
