Vibrational Excitations in Multilayer Nanostructures: Properties and manifestations

The theory of electron-vibrational processes in multilayer structures of various geometries (planar, cylindrical, spherical) and superlattices is presented based on the authors' original research. Many topics are discussed within the book, including the theory of levitating polarons over a liquid helium film on a polar substrate, the bipolaronic mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in multilayer structures, the theory of quantum electron emission from the metal-dielectric structure in strong electric fields, and many more. Various applications of the developed theories to describe optical spectra, electron, hole and exciton states, and transport processes in multilayer structures and superlattices are presented.

This book is a vital source material for scientific researchers, postgraduates, Ph.D. students, specializing in solid-state physics, quantum micro- and nanoelectronics and optoelectronics.

Key Features:

• Focuses on a highly relevant research topic.
