Based on the dielectric-continuum model, the expression
of polarization eigenvector, the dispersion relations, and the
electron-phonon interaction Fröhlich-like Hamiltonian for interface
optical (IO) phonons in multilayer GaN/AlN spherical heterostructures are
obtained. As an application of the theory, the dispersion relations and
electron-phonon coupling function strengths of the IO phonons are calculated
for four-layer GaN/AlN/GaN/AlN spherical heterostructures. The results show
that the lower frequency phonons have a much greater contribution to the
coupling function 
than higher frequency phonons.
