Bipolaron formed through electron-hole excitation

Abstract

We investigate the electronic properties and electron correlations of the bipolaron formed with the participation of electron-hole excitations in the presence of Yukawa-type coupling (between nonrelativistic fermions) in three spatial dimension. The electron-hole excitation, which is necessary to the formation of bipolaron, leads to imaginary particle-hole channel order parameter, and provide finite boson field mass to the single-polaron dispersion in a broken-symmetry phase. We found that the bipolaron exhibits fermi-liquid features as long as the long-range strong interaction is suppressed, and it behave differently compared to the single-polaron. The bosonic momentum determines the mass of boson field propagator and the gap function, and it also related to the self-energies and the single-particle Green’s functions. The Thouless criterion is also used during the calculation of gap equation at critical temperature (which becomes lower in weak-coupling regime), which corresponds to the pole (instability) of the pair propagator in zero center-of-mass freamwork. The mean field term and the bosonic fluctuation-induced contribution to free energy in Aslamazov-Larkin-type bipolaron diagram are also studied.
