Polaron effect and the dc phonon-assisted hopping conductivity in amorphous semiconductors

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

A new small parameterW of off-diagonal electron-phonon matrix elements with respect to diagonal ones is introduced. Limiting ourselves to terms of the second order inW, the dc phonon assisted hopping conductivity is calculated to the infinite order in the electron-phonon coupling constant. Result clearly exhibits the polaron effect which is discussed in detail.
