Orbital Effects of Strong Magnetic Field on a 2-D Holstein Polaron
arXiv:1506.07644 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.93.115109
Abstract
We investigate the orbital effects of strong external magnetic field on the ground state properties of a two dimensional holstein polaron, employing variational approaches based on the exact diagonalization (VAED). From the ground state energy and the wave function we calculate electron-phonon correlation function, the average phonon number and the Drude weight and investigate the evolution of a 2D holstein polaron as a function of the magnetic flux. Although the external magnetic field affects the polaron throughout the parameter regime, we show that the magnetic field has a stronger effect on a loosely bound (spatially extended) polaron. We also find that the magnetic field can be used as a tuning parameter, particularly for weakly coupled polaron, to reduce the spatial extent of a large polaron.
