Vibrational Excitations of Charged Solitons in Polyacetylene

Abstract
Theoretical studies of the vibrational excitations of charged solitons in polyacetylene are reported. Two strongly infrared active modes, derived from bulk optical phonons, are associated with these defects and we suggest the presence of a third, as yet unobserved, infrared-active mode in the acoustic phonon regime.
