A conduction electron (or hole) together with its self-induced polarisation in a polar semiconductor or an ionic crystal forms a quasi-particle, which is called a polaron. The polaron concept is of interest, not only because it describes…
We consider a polaron model where molecular \emph{rotations} are important. Here, the usual hopping between neighboring sites is affected directly by the electron-phonon interaction via a {\em twist-dependent} hopping amplitude. This model…
