Popis: The mechanisms of the electron spectrum renormalization by confined (L) and interface (I) phonons in a spherical quantum dot (QD) embedded in a semiconducting sphere are studied for the specific case of the β-HgS/CdS nanosystem. It is shown that, in view of the absence of interaction between an electron in spherically symmetric states and interface phonons forming only one bound state in a small-size QD, the shift Δ of this single level is formed only by confined phonons. As the size of the QD increases, the contribution of L and I phonons to Δ changes accordingly (L phonons slightly dominate), and the shift varies from Δ CdS 3 to Δ HgS 3 .
