The vibronic mixing by an odd-parity vibrational mode of two opposite-parity nearly-degenerate electronic states at a molecular site may drive the small polaron off-center. An associated electric dipole may occur due to broken inversion…
Small lattice polarons driven by strong external electric fields are considered. A time-dependent Schroedinger equation is integrated directly in time domain. The field agitates ions both directly and through modulation of carrier density.…

We study the effective mass of the bipolarons and essentially the possibility to get both light and strongly bound bipolarons in the Holstein-Hubbard model and some variations in the vicinity of the adiabatic limit. Several approaches to…
Large-bipolaron superconductivity is plausible with carrier densities well below those of conventional metals. Bipolarons form when carriers self-trap in pairs. Coherently moving large-bipolarons require extremely large ratios of static to…

Small polaron formation is dominant across a range of condensed matter systems. Small polarons are usually studied in terms of ground-state transport and thermal fluctuations, but small polarons can also be created impulsively by…

The intermediate coupling regime in polaronic systems, situated between the adiabatic and the anti-adiabatic limit, is characterized by resonant pairing between quasi-free electrons which is induced by an exchange interaction with localized…
Bipolaronic superconductivity is an exotic pairing mechanism proposed for materials like Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$BiO$_3$ (BKBO); however, conclusive experimental evidence for a (bi)polaron metallic state in this material remains elusive. Here, we…
The polaron to bipolaron transition in disordered media under the influence of a broadband ac electric field is suggested: ac conductivity vs. frequency measurements in disordered media with inhomogeneous disorder induce spatio-temporal…
Exceptionally displaceable ions, evidenced by huge ratios of materials static to high-frequency dielectric constants, enable short-range electron-phonon interactions to stabilize large planar bipolarons. These large bipolarons are compact…
