While basic features of polarons were well recognized a long time
ago and have been described in a number of review papers and
textbooks, interest in the role of electron-phonon interactions and
polaron dynamics in di?- ent materials has recently gone through a
vigorous revival. Electron-phonon interactions have been shown to
be relevant in many inorganic and organic semiconductors and
polymers, colossal magnetoresistance oxides, and tra- port through
nanowires and quantum dots also often depends on vibronic
displacements of ions. These interactions presumably play a role in
hi- temperature superconductors as well. The continued interest in
polarons extends beyond the physical description of advanced
materials. The ?eld has been a testing ground for analytical,
semi-analytical, and numerical techniques, such as path integrals,
strong-coupling perturbation expansion, advanced variational
methods, exact diagonalization, Quantum Monte Carlo, and other
techniques. This book reviews some recent developments in the ?eld
of polarons, starting with the basics and covering a number of
active directions of research. Single- and multipolaron theories
have o?ered more insight into colossal magnetoresistance and in a
broad spectrum of ph- ical properties of structures with reduced
dimension and dimensionality such as transport, optical absorption,
Raman scattering, photoluminescence, magneto-optics, etc. While
nobody - at present - has a ?nal theory of hi- temperature
superconductivity, we discuss one alternative (polaronic) route. We
have bene?ted from discussions with many experts in the ?eld.
