It is based on the Lee-Low-Pines proposal as extended by Thomas et al. for describing Jahn-Teller polarons along a linear chain of atoms. The variational properties of antiadiabatic itinerant polarons are also discussed.8 pages and 1 figure pdf formatSuperconductivityMaterials ScienceVariational band theory of vibronic polarons in crystals.
