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 semic

โฆ Synopsis
Stroscio (physics, Duke U.) and Dutta (the Army Research Office's Director of Research and Technology Integration) focus on the study of phonons and phonon-mediated effects in structures with nanoscale dimensional confinement in one or more spatial dimensions. Pertinent to the field of optoelectronics, quantum electronics, materials science, chemistry, and biology, the phenomenon explored is important in technologies needed to fabricate nanoscale structures and devices. Geared toward practicing physicists, the theme of the work is the description of optical and acoustic phonons in such nanostructures as the superconductor superlattice, quantum wires, and carbon nanotubes.

## 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
