We study the temperature effect of bound polaron, which is strongly coupled to LO-phonon by using a variational method of the Pekar type in a triangular potential quantum dot (QD). The ground state energy was expressed as functions of the confinement length of QD, the Coulomb bound potential, the polar angle and the temperature. It is found that at low temperature, the influence of Coulomb bound potential and the confinement length of QD to the ground state energy of bound polaron play a leading role. At high temperature, the influence of temperature to the ground state energy of bound polaron is dominant.

We have studied the effect of the electron–phonon interaction on the energy levels of the bound polaron and calculated the ground-state energy, the binding energy of the ground state, and the 1 s → 2 p ± transition energy in the GaAs/Al x Ga 1-x As parabolic quantum well (PQW) structure by using a modified Lee–Low–Pines (LLP) variational method. The numerical results are given and discussed. It is found that the contribution of electron–phonon interaction to the ground-state energy and the binding energy is obvious, especially in large well-width PQWs. The electron–phonon interaction should not be neglected.

The path integral method is used to obtain an expression, involving a sum over the complete set of solutions for the effective trial Hamiltonian, for the ground state energy of the bound polaron. The numerical calculations of this expression are performed for the hydrogenic and harmonic oscillator effective potentials. The present method together with several previous theories and their numerical results are discussed over a wide range of the electron–phonon coupling constant α and the electron–massive hole coupling β. It is shown that, for the experimentally important region, the present method with the hydrogenic potential yields the lowest energy—slightly lower than obtained by the Larsen's variational calculation.

A variational calculation of the ground state energy of an electron bound to a screened impurity in a semiconductor in a magnetic field is presented. The trial wave function is taken to be a product of a Landau wave function and a spherical wave function. We consider and compare the two cases in which the spherical part is chosen to be (i) a Coulomb wave function (after Rau, Mueller, and Spruch) and (ii) a Hulthén wave function.
