Abstract
The polaron free energy in a GaAs/Al/As quantum well is calculated as a fun ction of temperature and well width. The interaction considered is that bet ween the conduction electrons and the GaAs-like polar optical oscillations. The calculation follows a perturbative scheme in the coupling constant for the thermodynamical potential in the one-particle limit. Phonons are descr ibed with the use of a long-wavelength dispersive electroelastic continuum model.
