Abstract

The dynamics of a quantum particle moving in a tight binding lattice and coupled to an ohmic heat bath is investigated. Imaginary-time functional integral methods are utilized to determine the self-energy of the velocity-velocity correlation function for weak damping and arbitrary temperatures. Recent results for the linear mobility atT=0 and high temperatures are confirmed and extended to intermediate temperatures. The dominant corrections to the zero temperature mobility are given in terms of a power law.
