Abstract

A theory of a strong-coupling large-radius bipolaron has been developed. The possibility of the formation of 3D bipolarons in high-temperature superconductors is discussed. For the bipolaron energy, the lowest variational estimate has been obtained at α > 8, where α is the electron-phonon coupling constant. The critical ionic-bond parameter ηc = ɛ∞/ɛ0, where ɛ∞ and ɛ0 are the high-frequency and static dielectric constants, has been found to be ηc = 0.2496.
