Localized States of an Excess Electron in an Ionic Cluster

A theory of an electron affinity for an ionic cluster is proposed both in a quasiclassical approach and with quantization of a polarization electric field in a nanopartiele. A critical size of the cluster regarding in formation of an electron＇s autolocalized state, dependencies of energy and radius of a polaron on a cluster＇s size are obtained by a variational method. It has been found that binding energy of the electron in the cluster depends on a eluster＇s radius but a radius of electron＇s auto-localization does not depend on the cluster＇s radius and it equals to the polaron radius in a corresponding infinity crystal. A bound state of the electron in a cluster is possible only if the duster＇s radius is more than the polaron radius.

有限深抛物势量子盘中极化子的激发态性质

量子点作为一种重要的低维纳米结构, 近年来在单光子光源和新型量子点单光子探测器的研究引起了人们的广泛关注, 对各种势阱中量子点性质的研究已取得了重要成果. 但是大多理论研究都局限于无限深势阱, 而有限深势阱更具有实际意义. 利用平面波展开、幺正变换和变分相结合的方法研究了有限深势阱中极化子激发态能量及激发能随势阱形状和量子盘大小的变化规律. 数值计算结果表明: 极化子的激发态能量、激发能随势垒高度或宽度的增大而增大, 原因是势垒愈高、愈宽, 电子穿透势垒的可能性愈小, 电子在阱内运动的可能性愈大, 进而导致极化子的激发态能量和激发能均随势垒高度和宽度的增大而增大; 极化子的激发态能量和激发能随量子盘半径的增大而减小, 表明量子盘具有显著的量子尺寸效应; 极化子的激发态能量随有效受限长度的增加而减小, 原因是有效受限长度愈大, 有效受限强度愈小, 电子受到的束缚愈弱、振动愈慢、势能愈小, 进而导致基态能量、激发态能量减小; 同时由于激发态能量较基态能量减小慢, 使得激发能随之增加. 研究结果对量子点的应用具有一定的理论指导意义.

Bound polaron in a spherical quantum dot under an electric field

A variational approach is used to study the ground state of a bound polaron in a spherical quantum dot under an external electric field. The binding energy of the hydrogenic impurity state is calculated by taking the interaction of an electron with both the confined longitudinal optical phonons and the surface optical phonons into account. The interaction between impurity and longitudinal optical phonons has also been considered to obtain the binding energy of a bound polaron. It shows that the polaron effects give significant corrections to the binding energy and its Stark energy shift. The external electric field increases the phonon contributions to the binding energy.     

Bound polaron in a quantum pseudodot under Rashba effect

In the present work, the influence of Rashba effect on bound polaron in a quantum pseudodot is studied. Using the Lee–Low–Pines unitary transformation method and the Pekar type variational procedure, we have derived an expression for the bound polaron ground state energy. The ground state energy as functions of the wave vector, the electron–phonon coupling strength, and quantum confinement size is obtained by considering different Coulomb bound potentials. It is found that (i) the ground state energy is decreased with raising the Coulomb bound potential, the electron–phonon coupling strength, and quantum confinement size. (ii) The ground state energy increases when the wave vector is increasing. (iii) The ground state energy splits into two branches (spin-up and spin-down) due to the Rashba effect.     

Bound polaron in a wurtzite GaN/AlxGa1 − xN ellipsoidal finite-potential quantum dot

A variational method is used to study the ground state of a bound polaron in a weakly oblate wurtzite GaN/Al_xGa_1 − xN ellipsoidal quantum dot. The binding energy of the bound polaron is calculated by taking the electron couples with both branches of LO-like and TO-like phonons due to the anisotropic effect into account. The interaction between impurity and phonons has also been considered to obtain the binding energy of a bound polaron. The results show that the binding energy of bound polaron reaches a peak value as the quantum dot radius increases and then diminishes for the finite potential well. We found that the binding energy of bound polaron is reduced by the phonons effect on the impurity states, the contribution of LO-like phonon to the binding energy is dominant, the anisotropic angle and ellipticity influence on the binding energy are small.

Rashba effect of the bound magnetopolaron in an asymmetry quantum well

Using Pekar variational method, we studied the Rashba effect of the bound magnetopolaron in an asymmetry quantum well. The expression of the ground state energy of the bound magnetopolaron is obtained by theoretical derivation. Due to the influence of the Rashba effect, the ground state energy of the bound magnetopolaron splits into two branches. This phenomenon fully demonstrates that the influence of orbit and spin interaction in different directions on the energy of the polaron is not negligible. Because the contribution of the magnetic field cyclotron resonance frequency to the Rashba spin–orbit splitting is a positive value, the energy spacing becomes larger as the magnetic field cyclotron resonance frequency increases. Due to the presence of impurities, the polaron is more stable than the bare electron state, and the energy splitting is more stable.     

Scattering of low-energy electrons by positive ions in a magnetic field. II. Resonances,transition probabilities,and transport frequencies

We analyze quantum-mechanically electron-ion collisions in a magnetic field at a low temperature, for which the electron's thermal energy is less than the energy gap between two Landau levels and the electron's Larmor radius is less than the characteristic impact parameter of close collisions without the magnetic field. To calculate transition probabilities, we use the analytical procedure proposed in the first part of our paper. We calculate the energy and lifetime of the resonant (autoionization) states of an electron embedded in the Coulomb electric field of an ion and in a uniform magnetic field. The obtained values coincide in order of magnitude with the known exact numerical values. We find that the electron backward scattering probability irregularly (chaotically) depends on the particle energy and the magnetic field. We propose analytical approximations for the collision transport frequencies, one of which describes the electron braking along the magnetic field and another, equalizing of the temperatures corresponding to the electron motion along and across the magnetic field.

Effect of Strong Electron-Phonon Interactions on an Interface Polaron

The present work deals with an electron interacting strongly with both bulk longitudinal optical (LO) phonons and interface (IF) optical phonons in which we adopt and generalize the Tokuda's variational method for studying the interface polaron properties in polar crystals at zero temperature, In our approach, we can reduce the Hamiltollian equation of the system to a pair of integro-differential equations in two variational parameters of the electron wavefunction from which we can calculate various physical properties of an interface polaron including the ground state energy, average numbers of interacting phonons, the average distance from the interface and the anisotropic effective masses of the interface polaron. Numerical results are obtained explicitly for LiF crystal interfaced with NaF crystal as well as other similar systems with varying physical constants, which show the typical trends of variations for the effects of strong electron-phonon interactions on different physical properties of an interface polaron.

Core excitons in the electronic polaron model

Summary The electronic polaron model of the exciton is used to study the dielectric response of a medium to the excitation of a ?core? level, by adopting the method of direct solution of the Eulerian functional variational equations. The dynamical response of the electronic polarization affects the electron-hole attraction and the exciton binding energy, in a way which depends on the basic parameters of the crystal (dielectric constant, effective masses, lattice parameter) through the core exciton radius and the polaron radius. When the former is much larger than the latter, static dielectric screening results. When the exciton radius is comparable to the polaron radius, the screening is reduced and the binding energy is increased. Core exciton binding energies are computed in a number of substances using the effective-mass approximation. Space dispersion of the dielectric function coupled to intervalley interaction may, however, contribute in some cases to reducing the excitonic radius and bringing about an instability to a deep state that would invalidate the effective-mass approximation.
