Dynamics Of Conversion Of Conduction Electrons Into A Collective Charge-Density-Wave Current, Alexander S. Kovalev, Yuriy V. Pershin Dr, Alexander S. Rozhavsky

Faculty Publications

The exactly solvable model which describes the dynamics of transformation of conduction electrons into nonlinear charge-carrying excitations of charge-density waves in quasi-one-dimensional Peierls-Frohlich conductors is formulated and studied by the inverse scattering transformation method. The pair of self-trapped conduction electrons transform into a charged 2π kink localized in a single conducting chain and surrounded by dipoles in neighboring chains.
