Magnetic Field and Temperature Dependence of the Mass of a Surface Polaron in Polar Crystals

Abstract

Taking into account the interaction of an electron with both the weak-coupling bulk longitudinal optical (LO) and the strong-coupling surface optical (SO) phonons, we study the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the mass of a surface magnetopolaron in polar crystals by using a linear combination operator method. Numerical calculations, for an AgBr crystal, as an example, are performed, and the magnetic field and temperature characteristics of the mass of the surface magnetopolaron are discussed.
