Analytic Study on Some Properties of the Holstein Model

Abstract

A new ansatz is presented for analytic study of the properties of the Holstein model. New analytic results for the polaronic band structure, ground state energy, phonon distribution, hopping probability of electron, and effective masses, of the Holstein molecular crystal model, are given in one dimension. All the analytic results obtained are in accord with the numerical results completed recently and valid both in the adiabatic and nonadiabatic regimes, and accurate enough in the region of validity.

Analysis of Polaron Band Formation with the One-Dimensional Holstein Model

Ge Ming, Gan Qin, Shaolong Wan

We present an analytic result of the polaronic band structure by using the one-dimensional Holstein model on an infinite lattice. The single-phonon effect is used to investigate the ground state properties, such as the polaronic band structure, ground state energy, phonon distribution and effective mass, which agree with the numerical and analytic results obtained recently in the region from the weak coupling to the intermediate coupling.

Converging toward a practical solution of the Holstein molecular crystal model

Aldo Humberto Romero, David W. Brown, Katja Lindenberg

We present selected results for the Holstein molecular crystal model in one space dimension as determined by the Global–Local variational method, including complete polaron energy bands, ground state energies, and effective masses. We juxtapose our results with specific comparable results of numerous other methodologies of current interest, including quantum Monte Carlo, cluster diagonalization, dynamical mean field theory, density matrix renormalization group, semiclassical analysis, weak-coupling perturbation theory, and strong-coupling perturbation theory. Taken as a whole, these methodologies are mutually confirming and provide a comprehensive and quantitatively accurate description of polaron properties in essentially any regime. In particular, this comparison confirms the Global–Local variational method as being highly accurate over a wide range of the polaron parameter space, from the nonadiabatic limit to the extremes of high adiabaticity, from weak coupling through intermediate coupling to strong coupling.

Variational approach for the Holstein molecular-crystal model

V. Cataudella, G. De Filippis, Giuseppe Iadonisi

A variational technique is developed to investigate the polaronic features of the Holstein molecular-crystal model. It is based on a linear superposition of Bloch states that describe large and small polaron wave functions. It is shown that this method provides a very good description of the regime characterized by intermediate values of the electron-phonon coupling constant (the so-called intermediate polaron) for any value of the adiabatic parameter ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{0}/t.$ The polaron ground state energy in one and two dimensions is calculated and successfully compared with the best estimates available providing a clear physical interpretation of the intermediate polaron. The band structure, the spectral weight of the ground state and the lattice displacement associated to the polaron are also calculated and discussed. The method has the advantage of requiring very little computational effort.
