Taking into account the interaction of an electron with bulk longitudinal-optical (LO) and surface longitudinal-optical (SO) phonons
we study the ground state energy and self-trapping energy of the bound polaron in a polar slab by using the Huybrecht's linear combination operator method. The ground state energy and the self-trapping energy are all derived as function of slab thickness. Etre-ph includes two parts
one is
E
e-LO
tr
the other is
E
e-SO
tr
and
E
e-SO
tr
also includes two parts
E
e-SO
tr
(+) and
E
e-SO
tr
(-);taking KCl as an example
E
e-LO
tr
increases with the increase of the slab thickness
but
E
e-SO
tr
E
e-ph
tr
and λ all reduce with the increase of the slab thickness
and when the slab thickness d is more than 5 nm
E
e-ph
tr
is about to a stable number. Especially
vibration frequency (λ) increases when there is the Coulomb potential
because of the interactions are strengthened between the electrons and phonons.
