20. In the literature, the “Huang-Zhu model” usually refers to the simple analytical simulations of the polar-optical-phonon modes in MQW’s and the double boundary condition. In much rarer cases, the Huang-Zhu model has been used to designate the dipole oscillator superlattice model. In our work, we have found that it serves as a relatively simple and fairly satisfactory microscopic model for the optical vibration in superlattices.

31. G. Weber pointed out that the slab model is not a complete basis and proposed another set of reformulated slab model [Phys. Rev. B46, 16 171 (1992)]. In fact, as pointed out by Nash, in both slab and Huang-Zhu model, the completeness can be realized only by combining both the bulklike and interface modes.
