We consider the effects of single impurities on polarons in three-dimensions (3D) using a continuous time quantum Monte-Carlo algorithm. An exact treatment of the phonon degrees of freedom leads to a very efficient algorithm and we are able to compute the polaron dynamics on an infinite lattice using an auxiliary weighting scheme. The magnitude of the impurity potential, the electron-phonon coupling and the phonon frequency are varied. We determine the magnitude of the impurity potential required for polaron trapping. For small electron-phonon coupling the number of phonons increases dramatically on trapping. The polaron binding diagram is computed, showing that intermediate-coupling low-phonon-frequency polarons are localized by exceptionally small impurities.

We report on new LEED, STM and ARPES studies of alkali/Si(111) previously established as having a Mott insulating ground state at surface. The observation of a strong temperature dependent Franck-Condon broadening of the surface band together with th
e novel $sqrt{3}timessqrt{3}to2(sqrt{3}timessqrt{3})$ charge and lattice ordering below 270 K evidence a surface charge density wave (SCDW) in the strong e-ph coupling limit ($gapprox8$). Both the adiabatic ratio $hbaromega_0/tapprox0.8$ and the effective pairing energy $V_{eff}=U-2ghbaromega_0approx-800$ $meV$ are consistent with the possible formation of a bi-polaronic insulating phase consisting of alternating doubly-occupied/unoccupied dangling bonds as expected in the Holstein-Hubbard model.
Despite its simple structure and low degree of electronic correlation, SrTiO$_3$ (STO) features collective phenomena linked to charge transport and, ultimately, superconductivity, that are not yet fully explained. Thus, a better insight in the nature
of the quasiparticles shaping the electronic and conduction properties of STO is needed. We studied the low energy excitations of bulk STO and of the LaAlO$_{3}$/SrTiO$_{3}$ two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) by Ti L$_3$ edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. In all samples, we find the hallmark of polarons in the form of intense $dd$+phonon excitations, and a decrease of the LO3-mode electron-phonon coupling when going from insulating to highly conducting STO single crystals and heterostructures. Both results are attributed to the dynamic screening of the large polaron self-induced polarization, showing that the low temperature physics of STO and STO-based 2DEGs is dominated by large polaron quasiparticles.
We show that the pinning of collective charge and spin modes by impurities in the cuprate superconductors leads to qualitatively different fingerprints in the local density of states (LDOS). In particular, in a pinned (static) spin droplet, the creat
ion of a resonant impurity state is suppressed, the spin-resolved LDOS exhibits a characteristic spatial pattern, and the LDOS undergoes significant changes with increasing magnetic field. Since all of these fingerprints are absent in a charge droplet, impurities are a new probe for identifying the nature and relative strength of collective modes.
Understanding the origin of the magnetism of high temperature superconductors is crucial for establishing their unconventional pairing mechanism. Recently, theory predicts that FeSe is close to a magnetic quantum critical point, and thus weak perturb
ations such as impurities could induce local magnetic moments. To elucidate such quantum instability, we have employed scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. In particular, we have grown FeSe film on superconducting Pb(111) using molecular beam epitaxy and investigated magnetic excitation caused by impurities in the proximity-induced superconducting gap of FeSe. Our study provides a deep insight into the origin of the magnetic ordering of FeSe by showing the way local magnetic moments develop in response to impurities near the magnetic quantum critical point.
The nature of metallicity and the level of electronic correlations in the antiferromagnetically ordered parent compounds are two important open issues for the iron-based superconductivity. We perform a temperature-dependent angle-resolved photoemissi
on spectroscopy study of Fe1.02Te, the parent compound for iron chalcogenide superconductors. Deep in the antiferromagnetic state, the spectra exhibit a peak-dip-hump line shape associated with two clearly separate branches of dispersion, characteristics of polarons seen in manganites and lightly-doped cuprates. As temperature increases towards the Neel temperature (T_N), we observe a decreasing renormalization of the peak dispersion and a counterintuitive sharpening of the hump linewidth, suggestive of an intimate connection between the weakening electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling and antiferromagnetism. Our finding points to the highly-correlated nature of Fe1.02Te ground state featured by strong interactions among the charge, spin and lattice and a good metallicity plausibly contributed by the coherent polaron motion.
