Abstract:
The properties of an electron weakly coupled to piezo-acoustic phonon in asymmetrical Gaussian confinement potential quantum well (AGCPQW) subject to external electric field (EF) and magnetic field (MF) has been investigated using the Lee-Low-Pines unitary transformation and linear combination operation methods. We have obtained the ground state energy (GSE) and the ground state binding energy (GSBE) of piezoelectric polaron. The effects of the EF, the MF, the range of the asymmetrical Gaussian confinement potential (RAGCP), Debye cut-off wavenumber (DCOW) and the electron-phonon coupling strength on the GSE and the GSBE are also analyzed. It is found that the GSE is an increasing function of the EF and the cyclotron frequency (CF), whereas it is a decreasing one of the RAGCP, the DCOW and electron-phonon coupling strength. The GSBE is an increasing function of the DCOW and the electron-phonon coupling strength. It is also an aggrandizing function with decreasing of the RAGCP, whereas it is a decayed one of the EF and CF. It is shown that the EF, the RAGCP, the MF, the DCOW and electron-phonon coupling strength are important factors that have great influence on the properties of the piezoelectric polaron in AGCPQW.
