The ground and the excited states for the nondegenerate polymer such as cis-PA have been studied using the Kronig-Penney model with unequal potential barriers in the real space. The electronic states,the electron density distributions,and the lattice distortions in the system with different states are obtained. By comparing with those obtained in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model,we find that our results of electron state densities and electron density distribution are more precise.
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.
