Mass enhancement in narrow band systems

Superconductivity 2009-10-31 v2 Materials Science

Abstract

A perturbative study of the Holstein Molecular Crystal Model which accounts for lattice structure and dimensionality effects is presented. Antiadiabatic conditions peculiar of narrow band materials and an intermediate to strong electron-phonon coupling are assumed. The polaron effective mass depends crucially in all dimensions on the intermolecular coupling strengths which also affect the size of the lattice deformation associated with the small polaron formation.
