Description
SPRINGER Polarons In Advanced Materials (Springer Series In Materials Science Volume 103) 2007 Edition by ALEXANDROV ALEXANDRE S.
This book first introduces a single polaron and describes recent achievements in analytical and numerical studies of polaron properties in different e-ph models. It then describes multi-polaron physics as well as many key physical properties of high-temperature superconductors, colossal magnetoresistance oxides, conducting polymers and molecular nanowires, which were understood with polarons and bipolarons.
