| Research Abstract |
In connection with the recent experimental discoveries on photo-enhancements of the electronic conductivity and the quasi-static electric susceptibility in SrTiO_3, we theoretically study a photogeneration mechanism of charged ferroelectric domains in this perovskite type quantum dielectric. The photogenerated electron, being quite itinerant in the 3d band of Ti^<4+>, is assumed to couple weakly but quadratically with soft-anharmonic T_<1u> phonons in this quantum dielectric. This photogenerated electron is also assumed to couple strongly but linearly with the breathing (A_<1g>) type high energy phonons. Using a discrete model, we will show that these two types of electron-phonon couplings result in two types of polarons, a "super-para-electric large polaron" with a quasi-global parity violation, and an "off center type self-trapped polaron" with only a local parity violation. We will also show that this super-para-electric large polaron is nothing else but a singly charged (e^-) and conductive ferroelectric domain with a quasi macroscopic size. This large polaron is also shown to aggregate with other same polarons, resulting in large bipolarons and their clusters.
