The theory of polarons has experienced a surge of activity in the last years partly due to the possible role of polaronic quasiparticles in high Tc superconductors. This numerical study of the Holstein model shows that the polaronic effective masses become essentially dimension independent and of order ≃10–50 times the electron mass at sufficiently strong intermolecular coupling forces. Such values (which are much lower than those obtained by traditional small polaron theory) would erase one the serious objections against a (bi)polaronic picture for high Tc superconductors.

In this paper, we report the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of perovskite manganite Nd 0.55 Sr 0.45 MnO 3. Experimental data reveal that the EPR linewidth broadens with a quasilinear manner up to 480 K. The broadening of the EPR linewidth can be understood in terms of the shortening of carrier–lattice relaxation time due to the occurrence of strong carrier–phonon interactions. Two same activation energies obtained respectively from the temperature dependence of EPR intensity and resistivity indicate that the linewidth variation is correlated to the small polaron hopping. Therefore, the carrier–lattice coupling play a major role for deciding its magnetism in the present system.
