Abstract

AbstractBy employing the transfer matrix method, the polar interface optical (IO) and surface optical (SO) phonon modes and the corresponding Fröhlich electron–phonon interaction Hamiltonians in a freestanding multishell wurtzite cylindrical quantum wire (QWR) are derived and studied under the dielectric continuum approximation and Loudon's uniaxial crystal model. The present theoretical scheme can be looked on as a generalization of the previous studies regarding the IO phonon modes in quasi‐one‐dimensional (Q1D) wurtzite QWRs with a certain layer‐number. Numerical calculations on a freestanding wurtzite GaN/AlN QWR are performed. The degenerating behaviors of the IO and SO phonon modes in the freestanding wurtzite QWR seem prominent in contrast to the situation of Q1D wurtzite QWR with infinite polar matrix. The calculations of the electron–phonon coupling function show that the high‐frequency IO phonon branch and SO mode play a more important role in the electron–phonon interaction.
