INTERACTION OF ELECTRONS IN POLAR SOLVENTS OR LATTICES

Author Institution: Polytechnic Institute of BrooklynA model, presented here for the bipolaron, puts the two electrons into a configuration which is essentially that of a hydrogen molecule without the nuclei. The model is applicable for the case of a solvent, or lattice, and assumes that the Born Oppenheimer approximation applies. Calculations will be presented for different average separations. It will be shown that for large rations of static to dynamic polarizability the bipolaron is stable, in contrast to previous work, which did not include electron correlation effects."
