"Comb-Like" Polarons and Bipolarons in High-T$\text{}_{c}$ Materials

Diagonalization of Hamiltonian composed from d-d exchange interactions between localized d spins of antiferromagnetic cluster and p-d interaction with the spin of carriers indicates a possibility of formation of pure magnetic polarons. The most energetically favorable solution occurs when the carrier density in CuO$\text{}_{2}$ planes is distributed on every second spin. These "comb-like" polarons have a tendency to bind into pairs (bipolarons) "glued" by the antiferromagnetic medium.
