Normal state properties of an interacting large polaron gas

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v3

Abstract

A simple approach to the many-polaron problem for both weak and intermediate electron-phonon coupling and valid for densities much smaller than those typical of metals is presented. Within the model the total energy, the collective modes and the single-particle properties are studied and compared with the available theories. It is shown the occurrence of a charge density wave instability in the intermediate coupling regime.
