Polarons with Spatially Dependent Mass in a Finite Parabolic Quantum Well

We study the energy levels of an electron (or hole) polaron in a parabolic quantum well structure,including the spatial dependence of the effective mass.We also consider the two-mode behaviour of longitudinal optical phonon modes of the ternary mixed crystals in the structure,in the calculation of the effect of the electron phonon interaction.We calculate the ground state,the first excited state and the transition energy of an electron (or hole) in the GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs parabolic quantum well structure.The numerical results show that the electron-phonon interaction obviously affects the energy levels of the electron (or hole),which are in agreement with experimental results.
