a charge carrier so strongly bound to a local lattice distortion that it is confined to about one site and moves by thermally activated hopping.

In condensed matter physics, small polaron refers to a charge carrier so strongly bound to a local lattice distortion that it is confined to about one site and moves by thermally activated hopping. This meaning comes from Holstein (1959) in Annals of Physics.[1]
