The small polaron crossover: comparison between exact results and vertex correction approximation

Abstract

We study the crossover from quasi free electron to small polaron in the Holstein model for a single electron by means of both exact and self-consistent calculations in one dimension and on an infinite coordination lattice. We show that the crossover occurs when both strong coupling and multiphonon conditions are fulfilled leading to different relevant coupling constants in adiabatic and anti-adiabatic region of the parameters space. We also show that the self-consistent calculations obtained by including the first electron-phonon vertex correction give accurate results in a sizeable region of the phase diagram well separated from the polaronic crossover.
