Abstract
Within the framework of the dielectric continuum approach and modified random-element-isodisplacement model, the optical vibration mode in a spherical core-shell quantum dot (CSQD) consisting of ternary mixed crystals (TMCs) are investigated. The dispersion relation and electron–phonon interaction Hamiltonian are derived. As a typical case, the numerical results for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] CSQDs are obtained and discussed. Taking the one- and two-mode behaviors of TMCs into account, the effects of TMCs on interface/surface optical (IO/SO) phonon show that there are 3 and 5 branches of IO/SO phonon modes in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] CSQDs for a given component of TMC, respectively. It is also found that the IO/SO phonon frequencies and electron–phonon interactions are strongly dependent on the component of TMCs and the size of CSQDs. We hope this work would be useful for the study of the phonon-related photoelectric properties in CSQDs consisting of TMCs.
