Polarons in materials

C Franchini, M Reticcioli, M Setvin… - Nature Reviews Materials, 2021 - nature.com
Polarons are quasiparticles that easily form in polarizable materials due to the coupling of
excess electrons or holes with ionic vibrations. These quasiparticles manifest themselves in …

Fröhlich polaron and bipolaron: recent developments

JT Devreese, AS Alexandrov - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
It is remarkable how the Fröhlich polaron, one of the simplest examples of a Quantum Field
Theoretical problem, as it basically consists of a single fermion interacting with a scalar Bose …

AS Alexandrov, JT Devreese - 2010 - Springer
While basic features of polarons were well recognized a long time ago and have been
described in a number of review papers and textbooks, interest in the role of electron …

Variational study of fermionic and bosonic systems with non-Gaussian states: Theory and applications

T Shi, E Demler, JI Cirac - Annals of Physics, 2018 - Elsevier
We present a new variational method for investigating the ground state and out of

intervening spin-liquid phase between the semimetal and antiferromagnetic (AF) regimes …

Superconductivity and charge density wave order in the two-dimensional Holstein model

O Bradley, GG Batrouni, RT Scalettar - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
The Holstein Hamiltonian describes fermions hopping on a lattice and interacting locally
with dispersionless phonon degrees of freedom. In the low-density limit, dressed …

Comparative determinant quantum Monte Carlo study of the acoustic and optical variants of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model

S Malkaruge Costa, B Cohen-Stead, AT Ly, J Neuhaus… - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We compare the acoustic Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model with two of its optical variants
where the phonons are defined on either on the sites or bonds of the system. First, we …

Green's function of the Holstein polaron

GL Goodvin, M Berciu, GA Sawatzky - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2006 - APS
We present a highly efficient yet accurate analytical approximation for the Green's function of
a Holstein polaron. It is obtained by summing all the self-energy diagrams, but with each self …
