Self-trapping transition of the acoustic polaron in slab is researched by calculating the polaron ground state energy and the first derivative of the ground state energy with respect to the electron–phonon coupling. It is indicated that the possibility of self-trapping transition for acoustic polaron in slab fall in between 3D and 2D systems. The electron may be self-trapped in slab systems of GaN , AlN and alkali halides, if the slab systems are thinner than one over ten of the length unit ℏ/mc.

We study the large polaron ground state energy in the presence of a constant and uniform magnetic field within the Fock approximation. By use of a new trial spectrum we find a new upper bound to the ground state energy for all magnetic fields and electron–phonon coupling constants. The trial spectrum has the novel feature of keeping cylindrical symmetry for certain values of coupling, even in the absence of magnetic field.

The ground-state energy of polaron was obtained with strong electron-LO-phonon coupling by using a variational method of the Pekar type in a parabolic quantum dot (QD). Quantum transition occurs in the quantum system due to the electron-phonon interaction and the influence of temperature. That is the polaron transition from the ground-state to the first-excited state after absorbing a LO-phonon and it causes the changing of the polaron lifetime. Numerical calculations are performed and the results illustrate the relations of the ground-state lifetime of the polaron on the ground-state energy of polaron, the electric field strength, the temperature, the electron-LO-phonon coupling strength and the confinement length of the quantum dot.

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.

Quantum transition occurred in the quantum system due to the electron–phonon interaction and the influence of temperature. That is, the polaron transits from the ground state to the first excited state after absorbing a LO-phonon. Numerical calculations are performed and the results illustrate the relations of the transition rate of the polaron on the ground-state energy of polaron, the cyclotron frequency parameter, the Coulomb binding parameter, the temperature, the electron-LO-phonon coupling strength and the confinement length of the quantum dot.

We study the vibrational frequency, the ground-state energy and the ground-state binding energy of the strong-coupling impurity bound magnetopolaron in an anisotropic quantum dot. The effects of the transverse and longitudinal effective confinement lengths, the electron–phonon coupling strength, the cyclotron frequency of a magnetic field and the Coulomb bound potential are taken into consideration by using an linear combination operator and unitary transformation methods. It is found that the vibrational frequency, the ground-state energy and the ground-state binding energy will increase rapidly with decreasing confinement lengths. The vibrational frequency is an increasing function of the Coulomb bound potential, the electron–phonon coupling strength and cyclotron frequency, whereas the ground-state energy is a decreasing function of the potential and coupling strength, and the ground-state binding energy is an increasing function of the potential and coupling strength. The ground-state energy and the ground-state binding energy increases with increasing cyclotron frequency.
