Lecture

Charge Formation and Delocalization: Solitons and Polymers

Description

This lecture covers the formation and delocalization of charges in organic materials, focusing on solitons and polymers. It discusses the Peierls theory, degenerate ground states in poly(acetylene), and the impact of chemical doping on conductivity. The lecture also explores the transition of neutral solitons into positive or negative soliton charge carriers, as well as the theoretical models and experimental evidence supporting charged solitons.
