The Properties of Effective Mass of Polaron

With the improvement of experimental techniques and the replacement of equipment, composition and application of solid material have been gained a series new development. So there is continuing interests in polaron. N.Tokuda discussed that the variational law of the groundstate energy, the excitedstate energies with coupling constant; Xiao Jinglin, et al. investigated that the properties of polaron in various coupling strength; Xiao Wei, et al. studied that the affact of temperature on polaron; We discussed that the properties of acoustic deformation potential polaron. This paper was going to illustrate the variational law of the effective mass of polaron with temperature and coupling strength.In this paper, the variational relation of the effective mass of polaron in crystals with temperature and coupling strength was derived by using linearcombination operator and unitary transformation method. The results indicated that the effective mass increases with increasing coupling strength when temperature is constant, resulting in the interaction of electronphonon strengthens with increasing coupling strength. The results also illustrate that the effective mass varies with variation of temperature when coupling strength is constant, the stronger coupling strength is, the more obvious the affect of temperature on effective mass. At limit of weakcoupling,the effective mass of slowmoving polaron has nothing to do with temperature because a electron is approximate a freeelectron at limit of weakcoupling and it's motion is not affected by crystals vibration.In sum, the effective mass of polaron increases with increasing coupling strength when temperature is constant, and affect of temperature on effective mass also increases with increasing coupling strength.
