Electron self-energy and effective mass in a single heterostructure
  In this paper, we investigate the electron self-energy and effective mass in a single heterostructure using Green-function method. Numerical calculations of the electron self-energy and effective mass for GaAs/AlAs heterostructure are performed. The results show that the self energy (effective mass) of electron, which incorporate the energy of electron coupling to interface-optical phonons and half three-dimension LO phonons, monotonically increase(decrease) from that of interface polaron to that of 3D bulk polaron with the increase of the distance between the position of the electron and interface.
