Fr\"ohlich Polarons. Lecture course including detailed theoretical derivations

Understand

In the present course, an overview is presented of the fundamentals of continuum-polaron physics, which provide the basis of the analysis of polaron effects in ionic crystals and polar semiconductors.

• These Lecture Notes deal with "large", or "continuum", polarons, as described by the Fr\"ohlich Hamiltonian.
• The emphasis is on the polaron optical absorption, with detailed mathematical derivations.
