Appearance of the Effective Mass in Polaron Models
Polarons are quasi-particles appearing in various physical models in condensed matter theory and can mathematically be described by coupling a charged particle to a quantum field of bosons. Physically, the interaction of the particle with the quantum field is expected to increase the effective mass of the polaron compared to the particle’s bare ...
