Description
Within a Peierls continuum description of the infinite polyyne chain (CequivalentC)/sub x/ it is found that the polymer possesses soliton excitations with charges +- 2e, +- e, and 0 and polaron states with charges +- e, +- 2e, and = -3e. An excitation (''polarexciton'') consisting of an electron and a hole bound by lattice distortion is also found and may be photogenerated in the polymer
