Abstract
Within the framework of the Li-Low-Pines model the interaction of a Wannier-Mott exciton with polar optical phonons in a cylindrical semiconductor wire is studied, taking into account the phonon confinement effect. An analytical expression for the exciton binding energy with allowance for the polaronic effect is obtained. Numerical calculations of the binding energy are carried out for AlAs/GaAs/AlAs and ZnSe/CdSe/ZnSe wires with a various degree of polarity of quantum wire materials. The polaronic shift of the binding energy of light and heavy hole excitons is calculated.
