Solitons in conducting polymers

AJ Heeger, S Kivelson, JR Schrieffer, WP Su - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1988 - APS
Self-localized nonlinear excitations (solitons, polarons, and bipolarons) are fundamental
and inherent features of quasi-one-dimensional conducting polymers. Their signatures are …

Electronic crystals: an experimental overview

P Monceau - Advances in Physics, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
This article reviews the static and dynamic properties of spontaneous superstructures
formed by electrons. Representations of such electronic crystals are charge density waves …

Theta-terms in nonlinear sigma-models

AG Abanov, PB Wiegmann - Nuclear Physics B, 2000 - Elsevier
We trace the origin of θ-terms in nonlinear σ-models as a nonperturbative anomaly of current
algebras. The nonlinear σ-models emerge as a low energy limit of fermionic σ-models. The …

Physical theory of excitons in conducting polymers

S Brazovskii, N Kirova - Chemical Society Reviews, 2010 - pubs.rsc.org
In this tutorial review, we cover the solid state physics approach to electronic and optical
properties of conducting polymers. We attempt to bring together languages and advantages …

Peierls Transition in Gross-Neveu Model from Bethe Ansatz

V Melin, Y Sekiguchi, P Wiegmann, K Zarembo - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
The two-dimensional Gross-Neveu model is anticipated to undergo a crystalline phase
transition at high baryon charge densities. This conclusion is drawn from the mean-field …

An overview of the theory of π-conjugated polymers

D Baeriswyl, DK Campbell, S Mazumdar - Conjugated conducting …, 1992 - Springer
We review recent advances in the theoretical modelling of π-conjugated polymers. Our
emphasis is on quasi-one-dimensional π-electron models that include both electron-phonon …

Magneto resistance of polyacetylene nanofibers

YW Park - Chemical Society Reviews, 2010 - pubs.rsc.org
The magneto resistance (MR) of polyacetylene nanofibers is reviewed in this tutorial review.
Earlier MR results on film types of polyacetylene and other conducting polymers are …

Nondegenerate continuum model for polymer light‐emitting diodes

PS Davids, A Saxena, DL Smith - Journal of applied physics, 1995 - pubs.aip.org
We present a device model to describe polymer light‐emitting diodes (PLEDs) under bias
conditions for which strong electrical injection does not occur (ie, reverse, zero, and weak …

On the size of superconducting islands on the density-wave background in organic metals

VD Kochev, SS Seidov, PD Grigoriev - Magnetochemistry, 2023 - mdpi.com
Most high-T c superconductors are spatially inhomogeneous. Usually, this heterogeneity
originates from the interplay of various types of electronic ordering. It affects various …

Anisotropic zero-resistance onset in organic superconductors

VD Kochev, KK Kesharpu, PD Grigoriev - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
We study the coexistence of superconductivity (SC) and density-wave state and reconcile
various puzzling experimental data in organic superconductors (TMTSF) 2 PF 6 and …
