Dispersion Theory of Polaron in a Parabolic Quantum Dot at Finite Temperatures
By using the dispersion theory instead of the Frohlich Hamiltonian, the polaron energy in a quantum aot with a parabolic confinement potential is investigated at finite temperatures. It is found that the self-trapping energy of the polaron decreases with the increasing temperature, and the temperatu...

Summary: | By using the dispersion theory instead of the Frohlich Hamiltonian, the polaron energy in a quantum aot with a parabolic confinement potential is investigated at finite temperatures. It is found that the self-trapping energy of the polaron decreases with the increasing temperature, and the temperature effect is more obvious in quantum dots with weaker confinement. |
