The properties of an electron in a typical solid are modified by the interaction with the crystal ions, leading to the formation of a quasiparticle: the polaron. Such polarons are often described using the Fr\"ohlich Hamiltonian, which…

We explore a novel coupling mechanism of electrons with the transverse optical (TO) phonon branch in a regime when the TO mode becomes highly anharmonic and drives the ferroelectric phase transition. We show that this anharmonicity, which…
We present the first numerically exact study of self-trapped, a.k.a. soliton, states of electrons that form in materials with strong quadratic coupling to the phonon coordinates. Previous studies failed to observe predictions based on the…
We analyze electron-phonon correlation functions measured in 1D polaron ground states of the Holstein Hamiltonian using the Global-Local variational method. The spatial collapse of electron-phonon correlations is found to occur in concert…

In this paper we apply variational energy band theory to a form of the Holstein Hamiltonian in which the influence of lattice vibrations (optical phonons) on both local site energies (local coupling) and transfers of electronic excitations…
We suggest that if a localized phase at nonzero temperature $T>0$ exists for strongly disordered and weakly interacting electrons, as recently argued, it will also occur when both disorder and interactions are strong and $T$ is very high.…
Electron transport in Ge at various temperatures down to 20 mK has been investigated using particle Monte Carlo simulation taking into account ionized impurity and inelastic phonon scattering. The simulations account for the essential…
