Excitons consist of electrons and holes held together by their attractive Coulomb interaction. Although excitons are neutral excitations, spatial fluctuations in their charge density couple with the ions of the crystal lattice. This…
Polarons and spin-orbit (SO) coupling are distinct quantum effects that play a critical role in charge transport and spin-orbitronics. Polarons originate from strong electron-phonon interaction and are ubiquitous in polarizable materials…

We describe a new type of spatially periodic structure (lattice models): a polaritonic crystal (PolC) formed by a two-dimensional lattice of trapped two-level atoms interacting with quantised electromagnetic field in a cavity (or in a…
The electron's kinetic energy plays a pivotal role in magnetism. While virtual electron hopping promotes antiferromagnetism in an insulator, the real process usually favors ferromagnetism. But in kinetically frustrated systems, such as hole…

We extend the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model of polyacetylene to C_{60} and C_{70} molecules, and solve numerically. The calculations of the undoped systems agree well with the known results. When the system (C_{60} or C_{70}) is doped with one…
Antimony Selenide (Sb$_2$Se$_3$) is an attractive candidate of photovoltaics with not yet satisfying efficiency. Beside defects, polaron formation originated from lattice distortion was proposed to account for trapping free carriers, and…
Present work demonstrates the formation of spin-orbital polarons in electron doped copper oxides, that arise due to doping-induced polarisation of the oxygen orbitals in the CuO$_2$ planes. The concept of such polarons is fundamentally…
Ordinary doping by electrons (holes) generally means that the Fermi level shifts towards the conduction band (valence band) and that the conductivity of free carriers increases. Recently, however, some peculiar doping characteristics were…
We study here polaron (soliton) states of electrons or holes in a model describing carbon-type nanotubes. In the Hamiltonian of the system we take into account the electron-phonon interaction that arises from the deformation dependencies of…
The Hamiltonian describing a system of strongly correlated electrons coupled to dispersionless phonons was solved numerically for a ring of 8 atoms using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. It was found that electron…

Binding energy, which quantifies pair formation, is a key factor in the emergence of superconductivity. Here, we show that even when multiple spins are complexly coupled, hole-doped systems, which can be mapped onto the universal hardcore…

We unravel the polaronic properties of impurities immersed in a correlated trapped one-dimensional (1D) Bose-Bose mixture. This setup allows for the impurities to couple either attractively or repulsively to a specific host, thus offering a…
