The coherent dynamics of a Holstein polaron in strong electric fields is considered under different regimes. Using analytical and numerical analysis, we show that even for small hopping constant and weak electron-phonon interaction, the…
The Holstein Molecular Crystal Model is investigated by a strong coupling perturbative method which, unlike the standard Lang-Firsov approach, accounts for retardation effects due to the spreading of the polaron size. The effective mass is…
We introduce a theoretical model to scrutinize the conductivity of small polarons in one-dimensional disordered systems, focusing on two crucial --as will be demonstrated-- factors: the density of states and the spatial extent of the…
The two-site two-electron Holstein model is studied within a perturbation method based on a variational phonon basis obtained through the modified Lang-Firsov (MLF) transformation. The ground-state wave function and the energy are found out…
Using the momentum average approximation we study the importance of adding higher-than-linear terms in the electron-phonon coupling on the properties of single polarons described by a generalized Holstein model. For medium and strong linear…
We derive the exact solution for the optical conductivity $\sigma(\omega)$ of one hole in the Holstein-t-J model in the framework of dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). We investigate the magnetic and phonon features associated with polaron…
We present an extension of our recent paper [Bienias et al., Phys. Rev. A 90, 053804 (2014)] in which we demonstrated the scattering properties and bound-state structure of two Rydberg polaritons, as well as the derivation of the effective…
The properties of a dilute electron gas, coupled to the lattice degrees of freedom, are studied and compared with the properties of an electron gas at half-filling, where spinless fermions with two orbitals per lattice site are considered.…
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…
The present work is a reply to the paper [1]. It is proven that the argumentation of Ref. [1] is inconsistent. The variational functional for the polaron ground state energy considered in Ref. [1] contains an incomplete recoil energy. Since…
We use a recently developed formalism (combining an adiabatic expansion and dynamical mean-field theory) to obtain expressions for isotope effects on electronic properties in correlated systems. As an example we calculate the isotope effect…
Different computational methods are employed to evaluate elastic (rotationally summed) integral and differential cross sections for low energy (below about 10 eV) positron scattering off gas-phase C$_2$H$_2$ molecules. The computations are…
We study ground-state properties of a two-site, two-electron Holstein model describing two molecules coupled indirectly via electron-phonon interaction by using both exact diagonalization and self-consistent diagrammatic many-body…
It is shown that the ``hysteresis'' in a polaron model of electron transport through the molecule found by M.Galperin et al. [Nano Lett. 5, 125 (2005)] is an artefact of their ``mean-field'' approximation. The reason is trivial: after…
The influence of next-nearest neighbor electron hopping, $t^{\prime}$, on the polaron and bipolaron formation in a square Hubbard-Holstein model is investigated within a variational approach. The results for electron-phonon and…
We study the dipole picture of high-energy virtual-photon-proton scattering. It is shown that different choices for the energy variable in the dipole cross section used in the literature are not related to each other by simple arguments…
We study the finite-temperature transport of electrons coupled to anharmonic local phonons. Our focus is on the high-temperature incoherent regime, where controlled calculations are possible both for weak and strong electron--phonon…
We extend Merrifield's Variational Ansatz in the variational band theory of polarons to cover a frame of two electronic bands mixed by an Einstein phonon. The Hamiltonian is composed of the local and hopping energy terms, the vibrational…
It is shown that the bipolaron ground state is described by a delocalized wave function. For a two-parameter wave function, the lowest variation estimate of the ground state energy in the strong coupling limit is found to be $E=- 0,414125…
The work is devoted to obtaining the 1D bipolaron functional by Holstein method for the continuum approximation. We analyzed the effect of electron correlations associated with the direct dependence of the wave function of the electron…
