We report on the infrared conductivity of YBa 2 Cu 3 O x and YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8 crystals with
different oxygen content and Zn doping. We find a correlation between the structure of the …

Optical absorption of an interacting many-polaron gas

J Tempere, JT Devreese - Physical Review B, 2001 - APS
The optical absorption of a many (continuum) polaron gas is derived in the framework of a
variational approach at zero temperature and weak electron-phonon coupling strength. We …

Evolution of a Polaron Band through the Phase Diagram of

S Lupi, P Maselli, M Capizzi, P Calvani, P Giura… - Physical Review Letters, 1999 - APS
The evolution with doping and temperature of the polaronic absorption in a family of high-T c
superconductors is followed across the whole phase diagram. The polaron band softens …

Optical properties of polarons
