Abstract:
The optical phonon modes and electron optical phonon interaction of the equilateral triangular quantum dot and quantum wire in vacuum are studied with the dielectric continuum model. The analytical expressions for the longitudinal optical phonon eigenfunctions are deduced. After having quantized the eigenmodes, we derive the Hamiltonian operators describing the longitudinal optical phonon modes and their interactions with electrons. The potential applications of these results are also discussed.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
