Computer simulation study of bipolaron formation

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Monte Carlo computer simulation techniques are used to study the formation of bipolarons on a lattice. The transition between the three possible states, extended, twopolaron, and bipolaron is studied. The phase diagram as a function of the strengths of the electron-phonon coupling and repulsive interaction is determined.
