Polaron self-energy in a dielectric slab

Energy Levels of Weak Coupling Magneto-Optical Polaron and Temperature Effect in Spherical Quantum Dot

“…Due to the recent progress achieved in nanotechnology, it has become possible to fabricate low dimensional semiconductor structures. Special interest is being devoted to the quasi zero dimensional structures, usually referred to as quantum dots [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. In such nanometer QD's, some novel physical phenomena and potential electronic device applications have generated a great deal of interest.…”

Ground state energy of a polaron in a superlattice

“…Magnetopolarons in a heterojunction were investigated by means of the Green function method in [13] and [14]. Licari [15], and Liang, Gu and Lin [16] studied the polaron states in a polar slab using second-order perturbation theory. The self-trapping energy of a polaron in a polar-crystal slab in a magnetic field has been obtained by Wei, Zhao, and Gu [17] using the Larsen perturbation theory.…”

Well-width dependence of electron-phonon interaction energies in quantum wells due to confined LO phonon modes

“…In recent years, the effects of the boundary condition on the electron-phonon interaction and on the electron scattering by the confined LO phonons in QW's have attracted much attention. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] In the early works, some authors claimed confined phonons that satisfy the consideration of the lattice dynamics boundary condition, in addition to satisfying the electromagnetic boundary condition in QW's, would improve the agreement of the theory with the experiments for the electron-confined LO-phonon scattering rates. But in recent works, 7,6,9 it has been found that the electron-phonon scattering rates have only a modest dependence of the lattice dynamics boundary condition.…”
