Transport of an excess electron in molecular solids: Effect of the dynamical self-consistency of the polarization

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

In a simple model, the influence of formation of the electronic polaron on the form of the electronic dispersion law in molecular systems is calculated in a way which treats the electronic polarization self-consistently with respect to the electronic motion. Corrections to the polarization energy in the Lyons model calculated using the microelectrostatic approach are found which are of the order of the experimental half-band-width (≲0·1 eV) in current molecular crystals.
