Abstract

The self-induced polaron potential, the polaron radius, and the number of virtual optical phonons are calculated within the Feynman description of the polaron. The dependence of these quantities on the temperature, the magnetic field strength, and the electron-phonon coupling constant is investigated analytically and numerically.
