| - | Then one can artificially tune the coupling strength due to LO phonons. | + | Then one can artificially tune the LO-phonon scattering rates (self-energies in practice, or equivalently the square of the coupling to LO-phonons). |
| - | The microscopic value of the LO phonon coupling strength is then multiplied by the scaling factor ''<LO_Phonon_Coupling_Strength>''. | + | The microscopic value of the square of the LO phonon matrix element is then multiplied by the scaling factor ''<LO_Phonon_Coupling_Strength>''. |
