To account simultaneously for the deformation and piezoelectric interactions, it is not enough to add the corresponding contribution to the collisions integral, one must also consider an interference of these mechanisms (see F. T. Vasko and V. V. Mitin, Proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Quantum Confinement: Physics and Applications (Electrochemical Society, Chicago, 1995), Vol. 95-17, p. 197; where an interference between the usual deformation potential and the contribution of the heteroboundary vibrations has been considered).
