What is polaron hopping?
What is polaron hopping? Small polaron hopping is a type of conduction mechanism in which single valued activation energy is involved, which contribute the carriers to hop at the adjacent neighbor site. What is polaron in organic chemistry? An electron in a material may cause a distortion in the underlying lattice. The combination of electron and distortion (which may also be understood as a cloud of phonons) is known as a polaron (in part because the interaction between electron and lattice is via a polarization). What is small polaron hopping? When the spatial extension of the polaron is of the...
