摘要:

晶体中的电子态可以由于强的电子-声子(e-ph)相互作用而定域化,形成所谓的小极化子。预测小极化子的形成和能量的方法要么计算成本高,要么不适合定量预测。在这里,我们展示了一个形式主义的基础上,正则变换计算极化子的形成能量和波函数使用从头计算e-ph相互作用。计算的极化子和带边能量的比较,使我们能够确定是否在材料中的载流子有利于定域的小极化子在离域布洛赫状态。由于其低计算成本,我们的方法使小极化子的形成和能量学的有效研究,我们证明通过调查碱金属卤化物和金属氧化物和过氧化物中的电子和空穴极化子的形成。我们概述了我们的计划和扩展的改进计算运输的极化子跳跃制度。

英文摘要:

Electronic states in a crystal can localize due to strong electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions, forming so-called small polarons. Methods to predict the formation and energetics of small polarons are either computationally costly or not geared toward quantitative predictions. Here we show a formalism based on canonical transformations to compute the polaron formation energy and wavefunction using ab initio e-ph interactions. Comparison of the calculated polaron and band edge energies allows us to determine whether charge carriers in a material favor a localized small polaron over a delocalized Bloch state. Due to its low computational cost, our approach enables efficient studies of the formation and energetics of small polarons, as we demonstrate by investigating electron and hole polaron formation in alkali halides and metal oxides and peroxides. We outline refinements of our scheme and extensions to compute transport in the polaron hopping regime.
