Charge transport in doped quantum paraelectrics (QPs) presents a number of puzzles, including a pronounced T^{2} regime in the resistivity. We analyze charge transport in a QP within a model of electrons coupled to a soft transverse optical (TO) mode via a two-phonon mechanism. For T above the soft-mode frequency but below some characteristic scale (E_{0}), the resistivity scales with the occupation number of phonons squared, i.e., as T^{2}. The T^{2} scattering rate does not depend on the carrier number density and is not affected by a crossover between degenerate and nondegenerate regimes, in agreement with the experiment. Temperatures higher than E_{0} correspond to a nonquasiparticle regime, which we analyze by mapping the Dyson equation onto a problem of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The combination of scattering by two TO phonons and by a longitudinal optical mode explains the data quite well.
掺杂量子顺电体(QP)中的电荷输运存在许多谜题,包括电阻率中明显的(T^{2})规律。我们在一个通过双声子机制将电子与软横向光学(TO)模式耦合的模型中分析QP中的电荷输运。对于高于软模式频率但低于某个特征尺度((E_{0}))的温度(T),电阻率与声子占据数的平方成正比,即与(T^{2})成正比。(T^{2})散射率不依赖于载流子数密度,并且不受简并和非简并区域之间交叉的影响,这与实验结果一致。高于(E_{0})的温度对应于非准粒子区域,我们通过将戴森方程映射到超对称量子力学问题来分析该区域。由两个TO声子和一个纵向光学模式引起的散射组合很好地解释了这些数据。
