Electron self-energy and effective mass in a single heterostructure
In this paper, we investigate the electron self-energy and effective mass in
a single heterostructure using Green-function method. Numerical calculations of
the electron self-energy and effective mass for GaAs/AlAs heterostructure are
performed. The results show that the self energy (effective mass) of electron,
which incorporate the energy of electron coupling to interface-optical phonons
and half three-dimension LO phonons, monotonically increase(decrease) from that
of interface polaron to that of 3D bulk polaron with the increase of the
distance between the position of the electron and interface.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
