Abstract
We study the polaron self-energy of holes in semiconductors with zinc-blende structure including interband transitions between the coupled valence bands. The polaron self-energy is calculated to lowest order in the electron-phonon coupling constant using the spherical approximation for the valence bands. The hole self-energy and effective masses differ significantly from the standard polaron theory results.Keywords
