Expressions for the matrix elements of the Hamiltonian and overlap integrals between large-polaron and nearly-small-polaron states are given in terms of various large- and nearly-small-polaron parameters. The dependence of the mass of the ground state on the bare-electron mass in a region of transition between large- and nearly-small-polaron states is found. Parameters of the theory are evaluated using the continuum-polarization model of electron-phonon interactions. Modifications due to anisotropy and the presence of many longitudinal polar modes of lattice vibration are discussed briefly. Making use of a recent analysis by Reik of free-carrier optical-absorption results in SrTi O 3 using small-polaron theory, it is shown that the rate of mass rise deducible from superconductivity data on Zr-doped SrTi O 3 can be explained by the theory if the bare transverse mass m bt is taken to be m bt ≃ 0.6 m e , where m e is the free-electron mass, and if small-polaron binding energies are assumed to be larger by a factor of about 1.4 than their values in the continuum-polarization model. The dependence on Zr concentration of the ratio of phonon-induced to Coulomb intervalley electron-electron interactions deducible from the superconductivity data is discussed within the framework of the model.
