Reversible formation-dissociation of polaron in rutile driven by electric field

Density functional theory with Hubbard U correction is employed to study the polaron in rutile under external electric fields. It is found that electric-field-induced displacements of the ions enhance the sampling of the polaron configurations, which is helpful to find the most stable structure amon...
