The theory of renormalized energy spectrum of a multi-level quasiparticle interacting with polarization phonons at T = 0 K is developed within the Feynman-Pines diagram technique in a new approach. It permits a successive separation of multiplicative diagrams from non-multiplicative ones for all orders of mass operator, and their partial summing as well. The obtained mass operator is presented as a sum of branched chain fractions, which effectively take into account the multi-phonon processes. For the two-level quasiparticle it is shown that just the interlevel (non-diagonal) interaction with phonons fundamentally changes the properties of the spectrum. In the vicinity of all threshold energies, the quasi-equidistant phonon satellite bands (i.e., groups of energy levels) are formed. They correspond to the complexes of bound states of a quasi-particle with many phonons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
