The free polaron energy levels in finite GaAs / Al x Ga 1-x As parabolic quantum wells have been investigated by a modified variational method. The effect of the electric field, the electron-phonon interaction including the longitudinal optical phonons and the four branches of interface optical phonons, and the effect of spatial dependent effective mass have been considered in the calculation. The dependence of the energies of free polarons on the alloy composition x is given. The numerical results for finite GaAs / Al x Ga 1-x As parabolic quantum wells are obtained and discussed. The results show that the effect of the electric field and the interface optical phonons as well as the longitudinal optical phonons on the energy levels is obvious. One can find that the effect of the spatially dependent effective masses on the energy levels in finite parabolic quantum wells is considerable except for large well width. Thus, the electron-phonon interaction and the effect of the spatially dependent effective mass should not be neglected for the study of the electron state problem in finite parabolic quantum wells.
