Description

Based on the unitary transformation, a general treatment of the bound polaron is proposed. In distinction from earlier calculations, the present method gives explicit expressions for not only the energy but also the wave functions both in the ground state and in the excited states such as the relaxed excited state and the phonon scattering state. These expressions involve a summation on the complete set of eigenstates of a trial Hamiltonian, and in actual calculations the Coulomb Hamiltonian and the harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian are chosen as trial Hamiltonians. For the ground state, the energy expression is the same as that obtained by Matsuura with the path integral method. The present method is valid in the whole region of the electron-phonon coupling constant α and Coulomb force β except for β→0 and α>6.
