Abstract:A lattice model of the interaction of a polaron with a stationary trap is considered in this work. For estimation of an electron-phonon interaction we used the Su – Schrieffer – Heeger approximation, which is more typical for DNA. The trap is localized at a lattice site with energy U < 0. Depending on the depth of the trap, there are two mechanisms for the interaction of the polaron with the trap. For a shallow trap, the interaction is adiabatic, and the trap does not capture the wave function. For a deeper… Show more
