Effect of dispersive optical phonons on the properties of Bond Su-Schrieffer-Heeger polaron

Abstract

We use a newly developed quantum Monte Carlo method to investigate the impact of finite dispersion of the optical phonon mode on the properties of the bond Su-Schrieffer-Heeger polaron in two dimensions. We compare the properties of the bond polaron, such as effective mass, ground state energy, and Z factor, with and without positive phonon bandwidth. Our findings reveal that when we exclude phonon dispersion, at the same electron-phonon coupling strength, the effective mass increases as the phonon frequency decreases, indicating a heavier polaron in the deep adiabatic regime. However, in the dispersive case, we observe that the effective mass increases as the phonon bandwidth increases. Moreover, we notice a crossover from a light polaron state to a heavy polaron state in the deep adiabatic regime for both the dispersionless and dispersive cases.
