AbstractThe interaction of charged particles with interface optical phonons in quantum wells composed of uniaxially symmetric materials is studied theoretically. It is shown that the character of this interaction depends considerably on the degree of anisotropy of the phonon spectrum in the materials forming the quantum well and the barriers. In the case of strong anisotropy, the interaction turns out to be significantly weaker than it is in similar structures made of materials with cubic symmetry. In the case of weak phonon anisotropy, the interaction of charged particles with optical phonons can under certain conditions be described by a Fröhlich-type coupling constant, and both weak and strong electron–phonon interaction can take place in different structures. The results obtained extend the possibilities of the optical diagnostics of quantum nanostructures.

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.

The free polaron energy levels in finite GaAs / Al x Ga 1-x As parabolic quantum wells have been investigated by a modified variational method. The effect of the electric field, the electron-phonon interaction including the longitudinal optical phonons and the four branches of interface optical phonons, and the effect of spatial dependent effective mass have been considered in the calculation. The dependence of the energies of free polarons on the alloy composition x is given. The numerical results for finite GaAs / Al x Ga 1-x As parabolic quantum wells are obtained and discussed. The results show that the effect of the electric field and the interface optical phonons as well as the longitudinal optical phonons on the energy levels is obvious. One can find that the effect of the spatially dependent effective masses on the energy levels in finite parabolic quantum wells is considerable except for large well width. Thus, the electron-phonon interaction and the effect of the spatially dependent effective mass should not be neglected for the study of the electron state problem in finite parabolic quantum wells.

An important part of condensed matter physics in recent years has involved detailed study of inelastic interactions between swift electrons and condensed matter surfaces. Here we will review some aspects of such interactions.Surface excitations have long been recognized as dominant in determining the exchange-correlation energy of charged particles outside the surface. Properties of surface and bulk polaritons, plasmons and optical phonons in plane-bounded and spherical systems will be discussed from the viewpoint of semiclassical and quantal dielectric theory. Plasmons at interfaces between dissimilar dielectrics and in superlattice configurations will also be considered.

ABSTRACTSpectroscopic properties of conjugated molecules/polymers have varying degrees of sensitivity to backbone conformation. Optical studies are presented as a function of temperature and hydrostatic pressure, using photoluminescence and Raman scattering from two polymers with distinct differences in their backbone conformation, namely, polyfluorene (PF) and ladder type poly(para-phenylene)(m-LPPP). In contrast to the photoluminescence (PL) vibronics in mLPPP, the 0-0 PL vibronic peak in PF shows a red-shift with increasing temperatures. Pressure studies reveal that the PL spectrum of PF red-shifts and broadens with increasing pressures. The phonon lines in PF show an antiresonance effect at higher pressures indicating a strong electron-phonon interaction.

We have made detailed first principle calculations of the phonon contribution to the renormalization of the electronic effective mass of a number of simple metals and alloys. The phonon frequencies and polarization vectors are generated from the interatomic force constants for the material. The force constants are taken from a Born – von Kármán analysis of the experimental phonon dispersion curves determined by inelastic neutron scattering. The electron–phonon interaction is treated using pseudo-potential theory which relates the coupling constant to the electron–ion form factor. For a spherical Fermi surface it is then possible to evaluate numerically the expression for the effective mass with no further approximations. We compare the results obtained with previous work when available and with experiment otherwise.
