摘要
Addition of an electron or hole to a conducting polymer chain has been shown to cause the chain to distort, creating a large polaron. We show, by numerical solution of the coupled equations for the electron wavefunctions and the lattice displacements on a polyacetylene chain with an extra electron, that the polaron does not form in electric fields greater than or equal to 6x10(4)V/cm. In fields greater than or equal to 10(6) V/cm an already formed polaron will be dissociated Implications for the current-voltage characteristic will be discussed.
