13. If E ℏw LO, then the energy distribution is dictated by the simultaneous scattering by LO phonons as a result of the strong Frohlich interaction. In this "cascade-like model", E is proportional to Pln.29 For the relaxation process shown in Figure 1, the last step is mediated by the optical deformation potential. Very recently, it was shown that LH- HH-phonon optical deformation potential interaction becomes important in InP nanostructures. This mechanism is responsible for the appearance of unussual TO-phonon lines in InP and InAs emission spectra.30.
