Abstract
Electron-phonon effects on the two first electronic states in both CdS and GaAs quantum dots are investigated. Both confined longitudinal optical (LO) and surface optical (SO) phonons are considered. We use the intermediate-type variational approach. We find that, shifts caused by phonon contribution on electronic energies are more significant for CdS quantum dot. We find, also, that, contrary to GaAs based quantum dots, we shouldn't neglect the SO phonon contribution for CdS based ones, especially for small dots.
