The properties of polar optical phonon vibrations in a quasi-zero- dimensional (Q0D) anisotropic wurtzite cylindrical quantum dot (QD) are analyzed based on the dielectric continuum model and Loudon's uniaxial crystal model. The analytical electrostatic potentials of the phonon vibrations in the systems are deduced and solved exactly. The result. shows that there exist four types of polar mixing optical phonon modes in the Q0D wurtzite cylindrical QD systems. The dispersive equations and electron-phonon coupling function for the quasi-confined-half-space (QC-HS) mixing modes are derived and discussed. It is found that once the radius or the height of the QD approach infinity, the dispersive equations of the QC-HS mixing modes in the Q0D cylindrical QD can naturally reduce to those of the QC and HS modes in Q2D QWs or Q1D QWWs systems. This has been analyzed reasonably from both of physical and mathematical viewpoints.
