Charge trapping and formation of polarons is a pervasive phenomenon in transition metal oxide compounds, in particular at the surface, affecting fundamental physical properties and functionalities of the hosting materials. Here we…

Transition metal oxides such as \ce{BiVO4} are promising materials as photoelectrodes in solar-to-fuel conversion applications. However, their performance is limited by the low carrier mobility (especially electron mobility) due to the…

The behavior of electrons in the conduction band of TiO2 and other transition-metal oxides is key to the many applications of these materials. Experiments seem to produce conflicting results: optical and spin-resonance techniques reveal…

The 2D lattice gas model with competing short and long range interactions is appliedused for calculation of the incoherent charge transport in the classical strongly-correlated charge segregated polaronic state. We show, by means of…

Magnetotransport properties of the compound Ca4Mn3O10 are interpreted in terms of activated hopping of small magnetic polarons in the non-adiabatic regime. Polarons are most likely formed around Mn3+ sites created by oxygen…

Materials containing high densities of exceptionally displaceable ions (e.g. perovskites) have extremely large ratios of their static to high-frequency dielectric constants, > 2. Large polarons form in such materials as their electronic…

The question whether excess electrons in SrTiO3 form free or trapped carriers is a crucial aspect for the electronic properties of this important material. This fundamental ambiguity prevents a consistent interpretation of the puzzling…

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…

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…

Zhao et al. [Phys. Rev. B 62, R11 949 (2000)] reported studies of the oxygen-isotope effects on the intrinsic resistivity and thermoelectric power in the paramagnetic state of several ferromagnetic manganites. The isotope effects on the…

Polarons, quasiparticles formed through interactions between lattice and charge carriers (electrons and holes), strongly influence the electronic and optical properties of functional materials. In nanostructured BiVO$_{4}$, polaron…

The Rice-Sneddon model for BaBiO$_3$ is a nice model Hamiltonian for considering the properties of polarons and bipolarons in a three-dimensional oxide crystal. We use exact diagonalization methods on finite samples to study the stability…

Charge carriers in organic semiconductors form polarons, which are self-localized states stabilized by interactions with their environment. Using a dielectric-stabilized tight-binding model parameterized from first-principles calculations,…

BaBiO$_3$ is a charged ordered Peierls-like perovskite well known for its superconducting properties upon K or Pb doping. We present a study on the transport and electronic properties of BaBiO$_3$ perovskite with strong Bi-deficiency. We…

BaBiO3 is a prototype ``charge ordering system'' forming interpenetrating sublattices with nominal valence Bi(3+) and Bi(5+). It can also be regarded as a three-dimensional version of a Peierls insulator, the insulating gap being a…

Li-ion conductivity is one of the essential properties that determine the performance of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Here, using the density functional theory, we investigate the polaron stability and its effect on the Li-ion…

Small polaron behavior in a two dimensional honeycomb net is studied by applying the strong coupling perturbative method to the Holstein molecular crystal model. We find that small optical polarons can be mobile also if the electrons are…

Polarons play a major role in the description of optical, electrical and dielectrical properties of several ferroelectric oxides. The motion of those particles occur by elementary hops among the material lattice sites. In order to compute…

Structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Ti$_5$O$_9$ have been studied by \textit{ab initio} methods in low-, intermediate- and high-temperature phases. We have found the charge and orbital order in all three phases to be…

Measurements of the low-frequency (f<= 100 kHz) permittivity at T<= 160 K and dc resistivity (T<= 430 K) are reported for La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(3) (0<= x<= 0.15). Static dielectric constants are determined from the low-T limiting behavior of the…
