Jahn–Teller and the Dynamics of Polaron Formation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss a powerful algorithm for calculating static and dynamic properties of electron– phonon coupled systems with dynamic quantum phonons. The difference between Jahn–Teller polarons present in certain transition metal oxides and simpler Holstein polarons is explored. We calculate the dynamics of polaron formation from a bare injected electron, which has been measured in several recent experiments.

Effects of lattice distortion and Jahn–Teller coupling on the magnetoresistance of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 and La0.5Ca0.5CoO3 epitaxial films
Studies of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 epitaxial films on substrates with a range of lattice constants reveal two dominant contributions to the occurrence of colossal negative magnetoresistance (CMR) in these manganites: at high temperatures (T → TC , TC being the Curie temperature), the magnetotransport properties are predominantly determined by the conduction of lattice polarons, while at low temperatures...
متن کاملComposite Polarons in Ferromagnetic Narrow-Band Metallic Manganese Oxides
Moving electrons accompanied by Jahn-Teller phonon and spin-wave clouds may form composite polarons in ferromagnetic narrow-band manganites. The ground-state and the finite-temperature properties of such composite polarons are studied in the present paper. By using the variational method, it is shown that the energy of the system at zero temperature decreases with the formation of the composite...
متن کاملPolarons and Solitons in Jahn-Teller Systems
Using a semiclassical continuum model of an electron in a deformable molecular crystal, some properties of multicomponent generalizations of the polaron–“vector polarons”– are elucidated. Analytical solutions for the case of two electronic bands coupled to two vibrational modes are given in detail. Within the model considered, the vector polaron can be classified by its wavefunction into severa...
متن کاملDouble Degeneracy and Jahn-Teller Effects in CMR Perovskites
Jahn-Teller (JT) electron-phonon coupling effects in the colossal magnetoresistance perovskite compounds La1−xAxMnO3 are investigated. Electronelectron correlations between two degenerate Mn eg orbitals are studied in the Gutzwiller approximation. The static JT distortion and antiadiabatic polaron effects are studied in a modified Lang-Firsov approximation. We find that (i) the electron or hole...
متن کاملOptical conductivity of manganites: Crossover from Jahn-Teller small polaron to coherent transport in the ferromagnetic state
We report on the optical properties of the hole-doped manganites Nd0.7Sr0.3MnO3, La0.7Ca0.3MnO3, and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3. The low-energy optical conductivity in the paramagnetic-insulating state of these materials is characterized by a broad maximum near 1 eV. This feature shifts to lower energy and grows in optical oscillator strength as the temperature is lowered into the ferromagnetic state. It r...
