Abstract

The possible large-polaron contribution to the neutron scattering on quasi–one-dimensional molecular crystals was examined within the continuum polaron model. It was found that the appearance of the central peak in the dynamic structure factor should be expected if large-polaron formation takes place. The possibility of the experimental verification of the existence of Davydov-like solitons in biological systems was discussed on the basis of these predictions.
