Abstract

By using the dispersion theory instead of the Fröhlich Hamiltonian, the polaron energy in a quantum dot with a parabolic confinement potential is investigated at finite temperatures. It is found that the self-trapping energy of the polaron decreases with the increasing temperature, and the temperature effect is more obvious in quantum dots with weaker confinement.
