FUNCTIONAL INTEGRAL APPROACH AND THE EIKONAL APPROXIMATION TO THE POLARON ENERGY AND MASS
Keywords:
Polaron problem, functional integral, eikonal approximation
Abstract
This article uses the functional integral method and eikonal approximation to calculate the first-order correction for the energy and (effective) mass of the Polaron. The obtained results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the functional integral method compared to conventional perturbation theory when considering the Polaron problem in solid crystal.
