Abstract

The bound polaron ground state energy is calculated by the variational method of Pekar considering the influence of the Rashba SO interaction on the condition of electric–LO phonon strong coupling in a parabolic quantum dot (QD). The relations on the bound polaron ground state energy with the parallel confinement length, the electron–LO phonon coupling constant, the perpendicular confinement length and the Coulomb binding parameter are derived for a parabolic quantum dot.
