Based on the dielectric continuum model and Loudon's uniaxial crystal model, the propagating (PR) optical phonon modes and the Fröhlich-like electron–PR phonon interaction Hamiltonian in a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) wurtzite quantum well wire (QWW) structure are deduced and analyzed. Numerical calculations on AlGaN / GaN / AlGaN wurtzite QWW are performed. Results reveal that the dispersive frequencies of PR modes are the continuous functions of free wavenumber kzin z-direction and discrete functions of azimuthal quantum number m. The reduced behavior of the PR modes in wurtzite quantum systems is obviously observed. From the discussion of the electron–PR phonon coupling functions, it is found that the low-order PR modes in the case of small kzand m play a more important role in the electron–PR phonon interactions. Moreover, a detailed comparison of the PR modes in Q1D QWW structures with those in quasi-two-dimensional quantum wells are also carried out. The physical reasons resulting in the relationship and distinction in the two types of systems are also analyzed deeply.
