Large polarons in dry DNA: temperature and anharmonic effects

We study the influence of temperature on large polarons in DNA molecules. Employing the mean field approximation we derive the slight generalization of the SSH Hamiltonian with temperature dependent parameters. It was found that the degree of the modification of system parameters is very weak at phy...
