Physical Motivation: Strongly correlated charge-lattice models
- Interaction of charge-lattice and charge-charge correlations
- Full quantummechanical treatment of charge (electrons) and lattice (phonons) degrees of freedom (microscopic models)
- Polaronic effects in several classes pervoskites: High-TC cuprates / CMR manganites
- Intrinsically localized modes in halide-bridged transition metal complexes (-PtCl-)
