Theory of 3-D structure and intrinsic defects of trans-polyacetylene

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6957042
First-principles local-density functional pseudopotential calculations of static and dynamic electronic structure properties of crystalline 3-D trans-(CH)/sub x/ are reported. The P2/sub 1//a structure is predicted to have a lower energy than the P2/sub 1//n structure. A Green function calculation reveals that the 3-D character of the electronic band edge states destabilizes polarons and bipolarons and prevents self-trapping in perfectly ordered 3-D trans-(CH)/sub x/. 3 figs., 29 refs.
