BULK AND INTERFACE POLARONS IN QUANTUM WIRES AND DOTS

The vibrational modes of inertial polarization in the multilayer wire- like and dot-like structures are determined. The bulk confinement mode s and the interface ones are separated exactly by a unitary transforma tion, various additional boundary conditions for the inertial polariza tion vector being taken into account. The Hamiltonian of the electron- phonon interaction is deduced. The polaron ground state energy as well as the effective mass in the cylindrical quantum wire and polaronic s hift of electron energy levels in the spherical quantum dot are calcul ated.
