In a solid, electrons can be scattered both by phonons and other electrons. First proposed by Landau, scattering by phonons can lead to a composite entity called a polaron, in which a lattice distortion traps an itinerant electron (or hole)…
The normal state conductivity of a system of interacting large polarons is calculated within the Random Phase approximation and some numerical results are presented. The behaviour of the optical absorption as a function of the charge…
Electron localization and polaron mobility in oxygen deficient as well as Li doped monoclinic tungsten trioxide have been studied. We show that small polarons formed in the presence of oxygen vacancy prefer the bipolaronic $W^{5+}- W^{5+}$…
A dependence of phonon interaction on the interelectronic distance is found for a translation-invariant (TI) strong-coupling bipolaron. It is shown that the charge induced by the electrons in a TI-bipolaron state is always greater than that…
Both "large-U" and "small-U" orbitals are used to study the electronic structure of the high-T_c cuprates. A striped structure with three types of carriers are induced, polaron-like "stripons" which carry charge, "quasielectrons" which…
The variational Feynman formalism for the polaron, extended to an all-coupling treatment of bipolarons, is applied for two impurity atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate. This shows that if the polaronic coupling strength is large enough the…
Magnetic resonance methods offer a unique chance for in-depth study of conductive organic material systems, not only accounts for number of charge carriers, but also allows manipulations of spin dynamics of particles. Here we present a…
Dynamical equations for a polaron and bipolaron in a DNA duplex are obtained on the basis of Holstein-Hubbard Hamiltonian. It is shown that in a PolyA/PolyT duplex especially stable is a bipolaron state in which holes are localized on…
Following a resurgence of interest in dilute superconductivity in polar semiconductors, we perform a variational calculation to probe the existence of Fr{\"o}hlich bipolarons in these materials. Our solution is capable of interpolating…
Recent research suggests that the charge carriers in the paramagnetic state of the magnetoresistive manganites are small polarons. Here we report studies of the oxygen-isotope effects on the intrinsic resistivity and thermoelectric power in…

Our goals are to assist a non-practitioner understand likely resolution of the controversy about the boson that couples Cooper pairs in Cu oxides and to consider if high temperature superconductivity (HTS) in solid oxides might be related…
The formation of polarons is a pervasive phenomenon in transition metal oxide compounds, with a strong impact on the physical properties and functionalities of the hosting materials. In its original formulation the polaron problem considers…
We consider non-dissipative drag between Bose-condensed exciton polaritons in optical microcavity and embedded superconductors. This effect consists in induction of a non-dissipative electric current in the superconductor by motion of…
It is discussed some problems of normal states of high temperature superconductors (HTS's) with d-wave pairing and next suppositions: 1) at pseudogap temperature it occurs the dimensional crossover from 3D incoherent normal state to quasi…
Superconduction manifests when a steady-state current flows through a material without an electric field being present. It is argued here that the absence of scattering of the charge-carriers, although absolutely necessary, is not…
Dipolar bilayers with antiparallel polarization, i.e. opposite polarization in the two layers, exhibit liquid-like rather than gas-like behavior. In particular, even without external pressure a self-bound liquid puddle of constant density…
Conjugated polymers exhibit unique spin-dependent phenomena arising from weak yet critical hyperfine interactions. Understanding these spin effects, particularly the spin-dependent formation and decay of correlated spin pairs, is important…
The polaron optical conductivity is derived within the strong-coupling expansion, which is asymptotically exact in the strong-coupling limit. The polaron optical conductivity band is provided by the multiphonon optical transitions. The…
An essential property of layered systems is the dynamical nature of the screened Coulomb interaction. Low energy collective modes appear as a consequence of the layering and provide for a superconducting-pairing channel in addition to the…
