Abstract

The electron-phonon interaction in ternary mixed crystal of zinc compounds is studied. The electron-phonon interaction Hamiltonian including the unit-cell volume variation in ternary mixed crystals is obtained by using the modified random element isodisplacement model and Born-Huang method. The polaronic self-trapping energy and renormalized effective mass of ZnSexTe1-x, ZnSxSe1-x and ZnSxTe1-x compounds are numerically calculated. It is confirmed theoretically that the nonlinear variation of the self-trapping energy and effective mass with the composition is essential and the unit-cell volume effects cannot be neglected except the week e-p coupling. The deducting dimension of the mixed crystal strengthening the nonlinearity and volume effects..

Keywords
