We develop a theoretical model for the quantitative estimation of the Huang-Rhys factor S and averagephonon energy (hω) based on exciton coupling with longitudinal optical and acoustic phonons in the Frohlich and deformation potential mechanisms, respectively. We present reasonable explanations for the fitted values of the Huang-Rhys factor and average phonon energy adopted in experiments. Com- parison with experimental results reveals that the temperature dependence of the peak position in the excitonic spectra can be well reproduced by modulating the polarization parameter and deformation potential constant.展开更多
