We show that a one-dimensional analytical study allows us to test and clarify the derivation, assumptions, and symmetry properties of the intervalley effective mass equation (IVEME). In particular, we show that the IVEME is consistent with a two-band case, and is in fact exact for a model that satisfies exactly all its assumptions. On the other hand, an alternative formulation in k-space that includes intervalley kinetic energy terms is consistent with a one-band case, provided that intra-valley kinetic energy terms are also calculated consistent with one band. We also show that the standard symmetry assumptions for both real space and k-space formulations are not actually exact, but are consistent with a "total symmetric" projection, or with taking spherical averages in a three-dimensional case.

The electron–phonon (e–p) interaction in three-dimensional (3D), two-dimensional (2D) and one-dimensional (1D) ternary mixed crystals is studied. The e–p interaction Hamiltonians including the unit cell volume variation in ternary mixed crystals are obtained by using the modified random-element-isodisplacement model and Born–Huang method. The polaronic self-trapping energy and renormalized effective mass of GaAs[Formula: see text]Sb[Formula: see text], GaP[Formula: see text]As[Formula: see text] and GaP[Formula: see text]Sb[Formula: see text] compounds are numerically calculated. It is confirmed theoretically that the nonlinear variation of the self-trapping energy and effective mass with the composition is essential and the unit cell volume effects cannot be neglected except the weak e–p coupling. The dimensional effect cannot also be ignored.
