Comment on ‘‘Adiabatic theory for the bipolaron’’

M. A. Smondyrev, J. T. Devreese

Published May 1, 1996• 5 citations

Abstract

Comments are given on the application of the Bogoliubov-Tyablikov approach to the bipolaron problem in a recent paper by Lakhno [Phys. Rev. B 51, 3512 (1995)]. This author believes that his model (1) is the translation-invariant adiabatic theory of bipolarons and (2) gives asymptotically exact solutions in the adiabatic limit while the other approaches are considered as either phenomenological or variational in nature. Numerical results by Lakhno are in contradiction with all other papers published on the subject because his model leads to much lower energies. Thus, the author concludes that bipolarons ``are more stable than was considered before.'' We prove that both the analytical and the numerical results presented by Lakhno are wrong. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Comments on “Translation-invariant bipolarons and the problem of high-temperature superconductivity”

Serghei N. Klimin, J. T. Devreese

We comment on the recent results of Refs. [1], [2] on the bipolaron problem derived using an approximation of Gross–Tulub. It is proved that, contrary to the claim made in Refs. [1], [2], the bipolaron ground-state energy calculated there in the strong-coupling approximation has not been shown to constitute a variational upper bound.

2 Pekar’s ansatz and the strong coupling problem in polaron theory

Victor Dmitrievich Lakhno

A detailed consideration is given to the translation-invariant theory of Tulub polaron constructed without the use of Pekar ansatz.A fundamental result of the theory is that the value of the polaron energy is lower than that obtained on the basis of Pekar ansatz which was considered as an asymptotically exact solution in the strong coupling limit.In the case of bipolarons the theory yields the best values of the coupling energy and critical parameters of their stability.Numerous physical consequences of the existence of translation-invariant polarons and bipolarons are discussed.

Translation invariant theory of polaron (bipolaron) and the problem of quantizing near the classical solution

Victor Dmitrievich Lakhno

A physical interpretation of translation-invariant polarons and bipolarons is presented, some results of their existence are discussed. Consideration is given to the problem of quantization in the vicinity of the classical solution in the quantum field theory. The lowest variational estimate is obtained for the bipolaron energy E (η) with E (0) = -0.440636α 2 , where α is a constant of electron-phonon coupling, η is a parameter of ion binding.
