Polaron features of the one-dimensional Holstein Molecular Crystal Model

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The polaron features of the one-dimensional Holstein Molecular Crystal Model are investigated by improving a variational method introduced recently and based on a linear superposition of Bloch states that describe large and small polaron wave functions. The mean number of phonons, the polaron kinetic energy, the electron-phonon local correlation function, and the ground state spectral weight are calculated and discussed. A crossover regime between large and small polaron for any value of the adiabatic parameter ω0/t\omega_0/t is found and a polaron phase diagram is proposed.
