Abstract
Based on the Holstein model Hamiltonian of one-dimensional molecular crystals, by making use of the expansion approach of the correlated squeezed-coherent states of phonon instead of the two-phonon coherent state expansion scheme, the properties of the ground state and the anomalous quantum fluctuations are investigated in a strongly coupled electron—phonon system with special consideration of the electron-two-phonon interaction. The effective renormalization ( i ) of the displacement of the squeezed phonons with the effect of the squeezed-coherent states of phonon and both the electron-displaced phonon and the polaron-squeezed phonon correlations have been combined to obtain the anomalous quantum fluctuations for the corrections of the coherent state. Due to these non-adiabatic correlations, the effective displacement parameter i is larger than the ordinary parameter α i (0) . In comparison with the electron-one-phonon interaction ( g ) corrected as i g , we have found the electron-two-phonon interaction ( g 1 ) corrected as i 2 g 1 is enhanced significantly. For this reason, the ground state energy ( E 0 (2) ) contributed by the electron-two-phonon interaction is more negative than the single-phonon case ( E 0 (1) ) and the soliton solution is more stable. At the same time, the effects of the electron-two-phonon interaction greatly increase the polaron energy and the quantum fluctuations. Furthermore, in a deeper level, we have considered the effect of the polaron-squeezed phonon correlation ( f -correlation). Since this correlation parameter f > 1, this effect will strengthen the electron-one and two-phonon interactions by f i g and f 2 i 2 g 1 , respectively. The final results show that the ground state energy and the polaron energy will appear more negative further and the quantum fluctuations will gain further improvement.
