This thesis presents theoretical studies of the effects of the shell (the thickness,
the difference of the dielectric constants between the shell and the core) and the thin
outer metallic layer on electron states, the electronic dielectric function, the plasmon
and phonon dispersions, the electron - LO phonon interaction, and the LO-phonon
assisted electron scattering rate in core - shell semiconductor quantum wires.
Main results of the thesis
1. To derive the dynamic dielectric function of the electron system in a core - shell
semiconductor quantum wire within the framework of the linear response theory and the
random phase approximation (RPA). The plasma oscillation frequencies are determined
as its zeros. It is shown that the electron states, the electronic dielectric function and the
plasmon frequencies depend on the wire radius, the shell thickness, the dielectric
constants of the core and the shell materials, the electron concentration and the
temperature of the system.
2. To establish a method to construct longitudinal optical phonon modes following the
dielectric continuum approach and obtain the dispersion equations for various phonon
types in core - shell semiconductor quantum wires without or with a thin outer metal
layer. There may exist four types of LO phonons depending on the material constants of
the core and the shell.

3. To calculate the electron scattering rates by LO phonons based on the obtained the
electron - LO phonon interaction Hamiltonian.
4. Numerical calculations for GaAs / AlxGa1-xAs quantum wires show that
• The influence of wire dimension, shell thickness, and the difference in dielectric
constants between the core and the barrier on the static dielectric function of the
wire is more evident for small wave vectors. For wires with finite shell thickness,
the dielectric function increases as the radius of the core and/or the shell thickness
decreases. In the domain of large wave vectors, the static dielectric function
remains almost unchanged with the change of the above mentioned factors.
• The greater difference between the dielectric constants of the core and the shell
materials, the larger the change in the plasmon frequencies is. The plasmon
frequencies increase when the core size decreases. It is found that the change of the
plasmon frequencies can be of a few meV, quite observable experimentally.
• Changing the shell thickness as well as adding a thin outer metal layer leads to the
change of phonon frequencies, especially for type-1-phonons, but the behavior of
the dispersion curves is not much affected. The electrostatic potential associated
with LO oscillations, however, changes evidently in the shell, especially for type-2phonons. It results in the change of electron-LO-phonon interaction. The electron
scattering rate decreases with increasing shell thickness. On the other hand, the
metallic outer layer could much modify electron scattering in the wires of smaller
shell thickness. In this case, scattering rates could be reduced up to 40% in
comparison with that of the wires without the metal layer.
For the wires with infinite shell thickness, the electron scattering rate decreases as
the radius of the core decreases.
Therefore, for a possible reduction of the scattering rates we could make a suitable
choice of the quantum wire dimensions and an alternative outer metal layer.
