Abstract
We use the variational exact diagonalization to investigate the single polaron properties for four different dual models, combining a short-range off-diagonal (Peierls) plus a longer-range diagonal (Holstein or breathing-mode) coupling. This allows us to investigate the sensitivity of various polaron properties both to the range of the diagonal coupling and to the specific diagonal coupling chosen. We find strong sensitivity to the range for all dual models as the adiabatic limit is approached; however, considerable sensitivity is observed for some quantities even in the antiadiabatic limit. Also, strong dependence of the results on the specific form of the diagonal coupling is observed everywhere in the parameter space. Taken together, these results suggest that a careful consideration must be given to the specific coupling and its proper range, when quantitative comparisons with experiments are sought.
