For boron-doped silicon at temperatures less than 60 °K, half-width measurements for those absorption peaks corresponding to transitions from the ground state to the 2P′ and 3P′ internal states are presented. These half-widths are attributed to concentration and electron–phonon lifetime effects. The major contribution to the phonon broadening appears to be due to electron–phonon coupling of the internal states to the P3/2 Bloch states.

We consider a model of anyons—fermions coupled to a statistical gauge field—also coupled to phonons via the usual electron-phonon coupling. We study the phonon response when the system is in the superconducting anyon ground state and show the existence of peaks in the phonon spectral function whose frequencies shift with carrier concentration. We suggest that when the electron-phonon coupling is the dominant effect, there could arise a new type of BCS ground state with a spontaneously generated P and T violating supercurrent, that expels the statistical magnetic field.

Two kinds of alignments of two neighboring π-conjugated organic ferromagnetic chains are studied by considering the itinerary of electrons, electron–phonon coupling, the Hubbard repulsion and the interchain coupling. It is shown that the out-of-phase alignment is a more stable ferromagnetic structure than in-phase alignment. For out-of-phase alignment, there is a structure transition at a critical interchain coupling, at which the dimerizations of two chains have the same size and reverse sign. Interchain coupling results in transfer of spin density between each main chain and the side radicals.

We have extensively studied the laser-induced Fano scattering, electron–phonon coupling, bond length and phonon lifetime of the α-Fe2O3 nanostructure prepared through a simple co-precipitation method.

The ground-state energy of a bound polaron in a narrow-band polar crystal (such as a metal oxide) is studied using variational wave functions. We use a Fröhlich-type Hamiltonian on which the effective mass approximation has not been effected and in which a Debye cutoff is made on the phonon wave vectors. The wave functions that are used are general enough to allow the existence of a band state and of a self-trapped state and are reliable in the nonadiabatic limit. We find that three ground states are possible for this system. First, for small electron–phonon coupling, moderate bandwidth, and shallow impurities, the usual effective-mass hydrogenic ground state is found. For a narrow bandwidth and a deep defect, a collapsed state is predicted in which the polaron coincides with the position of the defect. Finally, for moderate electron–phonon coupling, narrow bandwidth, and a very weak defect, a self-trapped polaron in a hydrogenic state is predicted. Our conclusions are presented as asymptotic expansions and as phase diagrams indicating the values of the parameters for which each phase can be found.

In boron-doped silicon, the excitation of bound holes from the acceptor ground state to the excited states leads to an infrared absorption-line spectrum. In a recent half-width study of the boron absorption lines, Colbow (1963) separated the various line-broadening contributions for the first time. Part of Colbow's half-widths is now found to be due to external strains introduced by the sample mounting. New half-width measurements of "strain-free" mounted boron-doped silicon are presented, Colbow's work is corrected, and additional information regarding the various broadening contributions is given.

Self-trapping transition of the acoustic polaron in slab is researched by calculating the polaron ground state energy and the first derivative of the ground state energy with respect to the electron–phonon coupling. It is indicated that the possibility of self-trapping transition for acoustic polaron in slab fall in between 3D and 2D systems. The electron may be self-trapped in slab systems of GaN , AlN and alkali halides, if the slab systems are thinner than one over ten of the length unit ℏ/mc.

The Hamiltonian of a quantum rod with an ellipsoidal boundary is given after a coordinate transformation, which changes the ellipsoidal boundary into a spherical one. We then study the vibrational frequency and the ground state binding energy of the weak-coupling impurity bound magnetopolaron in it. The effects of the aspect ratio of the ellipsoid, the transverse effective confinement lengths, the electron-phonon coupling strength, the magnetic field cyclotron frequency and the Coulomb bound potential are taken into consideration by using linear combination operator method. It is found that the vibrational frequency and the ground state binding energy will increase with increasing Coulomb bound potential and the cyclotron frequency. They are decreasing functions of the aspect ratio of the ellipsoid and the transverse effective confinement lengths, whereas the ground state binding energy is an increasing function of the electron-phonon coupling strength.

A concise variational approach is to propose to calculate the ground-state properties of none-dimensional Holstein model. The results in the weak and strong coupling limit can be easily recovered analytically. It is shown that, in the nontrivial intermediate electron-phonon coupling regime, the present results are in good agreement with those by density-matrix renormalization group and numerical exact diagonalizations. The present approach is more concise than any other analytical ones in this field, and can be easily generalized to Holstein models in higher dimensions and with more electrons.
