Optical Phonons and Electronic Properties in Double Heterostructures

Abstract

Optical phonon modes in a semiconductor double heterostructure (DHS) are examined within the continuum model. The interface modes found here can account for the novel phenomena observed in right-angle Raman scattering. The Hamiltonian for the electron interaction with phonon eigenmodes is derived and employed to study polaronic effects in the DHS. The 1s-2p + transition energy of a magnetopolaron bound to a hydrogenic impurity in the quantum well is calculated, and excellent agreement with experiments is obtained. (rrh)
