Disorder-induced solitons in conjugated polymers
arXiv:cond-mat/9703103 · doi:10.1209/epl/i1997-00105-4
Abstract
We show that weak off-diagonal disorder in degenerate ground state conjugated polymers results in a finite density of randomly positioned kinks (solitons and antisolitons) in the lattice dimerization. For realistic values of the disorder, these kinks should clearly show up in the optical and magnetic properties.
