โฆ Synopsis
This book focuses on the theory of phonon interactions in nanoscale structures with particular emphasis on modern electronic and optoelectronic devices. A key goal is to describe tractable models of confined phonons and how these are applied to calculations of basic properties and phenomena of semiconductor heterostructures. The level of presentation is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students in physics and engineering with some background in quantum mechanics and solid state physics or devices.

## Abstract Within the dielectric continuum model, we calculate the interface phonons in multilayered spherical nanostructures. The effect of the alloying in the shell material, together with the change in the embedding medium are also analyzed. In all investigated heterostructures, the interface c
