Abstract The specific features of the interaction of charged particles with polar optical phonons have been studied theoretically for quantum wells with the barriers that are asymmetric in their dielectric properties. It is shown that the interaction with interface phonon modes makes the greatest contribution in narrow quantum wells. The parameters of the electron-phonon interaction were found for the cases of different values of the phonon frequencies in the barrier materials. It turned out that a significant (by almost an order of magnitude) change in the parameters of the electron-phonon interaction can occur in such structures. This makes it possible, in principle, to trace the transition from weak to strong interactions in quantum wells of the same type but with different compositions of barrier materials. The conditions are found under which an enhancement of the electron-phonon interaction is possible in an asymmetric structure in comparison with a symmetric one with the barriers of the same composition.

Effects of electron-phonon interaction on lattice dynamics in oxide superconductors La 2−x Sr x CuO 4 (LSC) are studied microscopically on the basis of the tight-binding band fitted to the first principle band. Breathing-type vibrations of oxygen atoms in the CuO 2 plane are renormalized significantly at around (π/a, π/a, 0) and (π/a, 0, 0) due to strong dependences of the electron-phonon interaction on wavevectors and phonon modes. In the framework of the usual phonon-mediated pairing mechanism, superconducting properties, such as transition temperatures and tunneling spectra, are studied by solving isotropic Eliashberg equations. The spectral function α2F(ω) has a characteristic structure over a wide energy range below 85 meV. The tunneling conductance d I/ d V and its derivative d 2I/ d V2 calculated have prominent peaks below 40 meV, which show good correspondences to those observed by recent tunneling experiments.
