THE TRANSITION RATE OF THE GROUND STATE OF POLARON IN A PARABOLIC QUANTUM DOT
The ground-state energy of polaron was obtained with strong electron-LO-phonon coupling by using a variational method of the Pekar type in a parabolic quantum dot (QD). Quantum transition occurred in the quantum system due to the electron–phonon interaction and the influence of temperature. That is, the polaron transits from the ground state to the first excited state after absorbing a LO-phonon. Numerical calculations are performed and the results illustrate the relations of the transition rate of the polaron on the ground-state energy of polaron, the cyclotron frequency parameter, the Coulomb binding parameter, the temperature, the electron-LO-phonon coupling strength and the confinement length of the quantum dot.
