The nuclear response theory for isospin-transfer modes in the relativistic particle-vibration coupling framework is extended to include coupling of single nucleons to isospin-flip (charge-exchange) phonons in addition to the usual neutral vibrations. This new coupling introduces dynamical pion and ρ -meson exchange beyond the Hartree-Fock approximation up to infinite order. We investigate the impact of this new mechanism on the Gamow-Teller response of a few doubly magic neutron-rich nuclei, namely, ⁴⁸Ca, ⁷⁸Ni, ¹³²Sn, and ²⁰⁸Pb . It is found that the coupling to isospin-flip vibrations can have a non-negligible impact on the strength distribution and quenching of the giant resonance, globally improving the agreement with the experimental data. The corresponding β -decay half-lives of ⁷⁸Ni and ¹³²Sn are also calculated and found to be decreased by a factor of ~2 by the inclusion of the new phonons.
