Abstract
The properties of polarons and bipolarons are studied by the intermediate coupling method, which takes electron-lattice coupling into account. A Coulomb correlation in the electron motion is included. When the Fröhlich coupling constant is reduced, at α*=5.7 a bipolaron decays suddenly from a self-trapped state into two delocalized polarons. A phase diagram is constructed for the region where the stable bipolaron exists. These results are compared with those obtained by integration along trajectories.
