Abstract The crossover of large to small radius polaron is studied in terms of the inverse-relaxation time and temperature. It is found that the small radius polaron exists at higher temperature than the large radius polaron. A formula which relates the inverse-relaxation time to the ratio of arbitrary temperature and Debye temperature of the crystal is derived. The polaron crossover temperatures in NaCl and KBr are found from plotted graphs. The straight line emerging at the Debye temperature TD of a graph reflects the increase of the inverse relaxation time for increasing temperature up to the collapse of the small radius polaron. The relationship between the small and large radius polarons is found and known ratios of the effective and the bare masses of the electrons for the two substances are used to validate our results. The small radius polaron's mass is later compared with the mass obtained from the hopping formula and is found to be approximately equal. Finally, we point out that the crossover temperature is material-specific since it depends on the Debye and the effective dielectric function.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
