Effect of different site energies on polaronic properties
Abstract
Using the perturbation method based on a variational phonon basis obtained by the modified Lang-Firsov (MLF) transformation, the two-site single polaron Holstein model is studied in presence of a difference in bare site energies (εd=ε2-ε1). The polaronic ground-state wave function is calculated up to the fifth order of perturbation. The effect of εd (acts as a site-energy disorder) on the polaron crossover, polaronic kinetic energy, oscillator wavefuncion and polaron localization are studied. Considering a double-exchange Holstein model with finite εd, role of disorder on the properties of the double-exchange system is also discussed.
