where d k and q p are the Fourier component of the doublon and the lattice, respec-
tively. What is important is the functional form of the coupling function gðpÞ
. In the
Holstein model, it is constant leading to the efficient formation of the polaron. On
the other hand, the function in H d - l has a functional form of gðpÞ/ 2 S sin ðp= 2 Þ .This
means the suppression of the polaron formation that uses the components of p ~0,
as illustrated in Fig. 8.21a . By the way, the polaron in the CDW insulator is formed
mainly by the components around p ¼ p
. This is directly related to the fact that the
wave vector of the CDW is
, which is the nesting vector of the original metallic
band as shown in Fig. 8.21b . The polaron formation then occurs efficiently using
this functional form. In contrast, the e-l interaction that a doublon or a holon feels is
suppressed nontrivially, and this also holds for a doublon-hole pair. Calculations
based on the full hamiltonian that incorporates the e-l interaction also support this
idea. For example, a vanishing Raman Stokes shift [ 36 ] and a very small peak line
broadening as small as 2 meV for realistic parameter values [ 39 ] are found in those
calculations. The very sharp peak observed in the optical conductivity spectrum is
thus concluded to be a manifestation of this effect. In Fig. 8.22 , we show the spectra
