Abstract By applying the dielectric continuum model, optical-phonon modes of the lattice vibration and a complete interaction Fr$\ddot{\rm o}$hlich-like Harniltonian between an electron and the optical phonons including the interface phonons, the confined LO phonons and the half-space LO phonons are derived for a general coupled quantum well (GCQW) structure of polar crystals. The dispersion curves of the interface modes and the electron-interface-phonon coupling function as functions of coordinate z and wavenumber k are given and discussed for a GCQW. We find that there are eight (not ten) frequency solutions for the interface optical-phonon modes in GCQW and that, in the long-wavelength limit, the longitudinal and transverse modes in the two side materials 1 and 5 are forbidden and two new frequency solutions $\omega$± are obtained instead. Moreover, we also find that the electron-interface-phonon coupling functions are complicated functions of k and that the phonons with long wavelengths are important and the higher-frequency modes are more important than the lower-frequency modes for the electron-phonon interaction.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
