Polaron band formation in the Holstein model
نویسنده
چکیده
We present numerical exact results for the polaronic band structure of the Holstein molecular crystal model in one and two dimensions. The use of direct Lanczos diagonalization technique, preserving the full dynamics and quantum nature of phonons, allows us to analyze in detail the renormalization of both quasiparticle bandwidth and dispersion by the electron–phonon interaction. For the two–dimensional case some of our exact data are compared with the results obtained in the framework of a recently developed finite cluster strong– coupling perturbation theory.

Polaronic effects in strongly coupled electron-phonon systems: Exact diagonalization results for the 2D Holstein t–J model
Ground–state and dynamical properties of the 2D Holstein t–J model are examined by means of direct Lanczos diagonalization, using a truncation method of the phononic Hilbert space. The single– hole spectral function shows the formation of a narrow hole–polaron band as the electron–phonon coupling increases, where the polaronic band collapse is favoured by strong Coulomb correlations. In the two...
متن کاملSPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF THE 2D HOLSTEIN t–J MODEL
Employing the Lanczos algorithm in combination with a kernel polynomial moment expansion (KPM) and the maximum entropy method (MEM), we show a way of calculating charge and spin excitations in the Holstein t–J model, including the full quantum nature of phonons. To analyze polaron band formation we evaluate the hole spectral function for a wide range of electron–phonon coupling strengths. For t...
متن کاملPolarons and bipolarons in strongly interacting electron-phonon systems.
The Holstein Hubbard and Holstein t–J models are studied for a wide range of phonon frequencies, electron–electron and electron–phonon interaction strengths on finite lattices with up to ten sites by means of direct Lanczos diagonalization. Previously the necessary truncation of the phononic Hilbert space caused serious limitations to either very small systems (four or even two sites) or to wea...
متن کاملPhonon spectral function of the Holstein polaron
The phonon spectral function of the one-dimensional Holstein model is obtained within weak and strong-coupling approximations based on analytical self-energy calculations. The characteristic excitations found in the limit of small charge-carrier density are related to the known (electronic) spectral properties of Holstein polarons such as the polaron band dispersion. Particular emphasis is laid...
متن کاملThe Holstein Polaron
We describe a variational method to solve the Holstein model for an electron coupled to dynamical, quantum phonons on an infinite lattice. The variational space can be systematically expanded to achieve high accuracy with modest computational resources (12-digit accuracy for the 1d polaron energy at intermediate coupling). We compute ground and low-lying excited state properties of the model at...
