Abstract
The electrostatic potential associated to the interface oscillation modes in nitride-based heterostructure is calculated with the use of a complete phenomenological electroelastic continuum approach for the long wave optical oscillations, and the Surface Green Function Matching technique. The crystalline symmetries of zincblende and - isotropically averaged - wurtzite are both considered in the sets of input bulk frequencies and dielectric constants.
