Abstract

We describe adiabatic statics and dynamics for electron-phonon coupled models of several linear conjugated polymers, including trans- and cis-polyacetylene, ordered A-B alloys, and site- and bond-defected systems. The ubiquitous role of "breathers" is emphasized, as well as striking renormalizations of intragap localized electronic levels.
