Yy. Yeung et al., GROUND-STATE ENERGY AND EFFECTIVE-MASS OF AN INTERFACE POLARON UNDER STRONG ELECTRON-PHONON INTERACTIONS, Physics letters. A, 183(5-6), 1993, pp. 418-424
For an electron interacting strongly with both the interface optical p
honons and the bulk longitudinal optical (LO) phonons, the properties
of a polaron bound at the interface between two semi-infinite polar cr
ystals are studied. The important effect of the normally ignored elect
ron-bulk LO phonon interaction is demonstrated.
