Quantum effects in the electronic polarization energy in molecular systems

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

Binding energy of the electronic polaron in molecular condensates is examined in a simple model permitting quantum dynamical as well as classical microelectrostatic energy calculations. Quantum effects in the electron (hole) polarization energy due to dipole-dipole correlations (and their distortion by an excess charge) among neutral molecules and molecular ion are studied. It is found that these quantum effects lead to a decrease of the magnitude of the electron (hole) polarization energy in realistic situations.
