Abstract: This paper reports a study of polarons in a GaAs crystal subject to a strong electric field. In addition to the overall drift motion of the polaron, an oscillatory internal motion is observed in which the electron is impulsively moved away from the centre of the surrounding lattice distortion. Such quantum coherent processes directly affect high-frequency transport in nanostructures.
