The self-trapping transition of acoustic polaron in quantum dot is reconsidered by character of the effective mass curve varying with the e-p coupling. The holes are determined to be self-trapped in AlN quantum dot systems. %K Quantum Dot %K Effective Mass %K Acoustic Polaron %K Self-Trapping %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=54295
