This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis demonstrates the construction of a double quantum dot (DQD) in an Indium Arsenide (InAs) nanowire that is mechanically suspended in vacuum between metal contacts and capacitively coupled to a superconducting microwave resonator. This mechanical suspension scheme places the DQD at the center of an effective 380 nm long phonon cavity created by the contacts supporting the ends of the suspended nanowire. Because electron-phonon coupling mechanisms lead to electron transport through the DQD, measurements of current can be used as a probe of the phonon density of states in the nanostructure. Current measurements reveal strong signatures of electron-phonon coupling at energies corresponding to the guitar string vibrational modes of the suspended nanowire. In addition, photon emission has recently been observed in InAs nanowire DQDs coupled to superconducting cavities. However, it has been proposed that a phonon must simultaneously be emitted with each photon to ensure energy conservation. Therefore the photon emission rate should be enhanced when the emitted phonons couple strongly to electrons in the DQD. We quantitatively confirm this hypothesis by independently measuring both the photon emission into the cavity and the electron-phonon coupling strength as a function of the DQD energy splitting.

Download or read book Semiconductor Quantum Dots written by Ladislaus B nyai and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1993 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semiconductor Quantum Dots presents an overview of the background and recent developments in the rapidly growing field of ultrasmall semiconductor microcrystallites, in which the carrier confinement is sufficiently strong to allow only quantized states of the electrons and holes. The main emphasis of this book is the theoretical analysis of the confinement induced modifications of the optical and electronic properties of quantum dots in comparison with extended materials. The book develops the theoretical background material for the analysis of carrier quantum-confinement effects, introduces the different confinement regimes for relative or center-of-mass motion quantization of the electron-hole-pairs, and gives an overview of the best approximation schemes for each regime. A detailed discussion of the carrier states in quantum dots is presented and surface polarization instabilities are analyzed, leading to the self-trapping of carriers near the surface of the dots. The influence of spin-orbit coupling on the quantum-confined carrier states is discussed. The linear and nonlinear optical properties of small and large quantum dots are studied in detail and the influence of the quantum-dot size distribution in many realistic samples is outlined. Phonons in quantum dots as well as the influence of external electric or magnetic fields are also discussed. Last but not least the recent developments dealing with regular systems of quantum dots are also reviewed. All things included, this is an important piece of work on semiconductor quantum dots not to be dismissed by serious researchers and physicists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present an overview of the theoretical background and experimental re sults in the rapidly developing field of semiconductor quantum dots - systems 8 6 of dimensions as small as 10- -10- m (quasi-zero-dimensional) that contain a small and controllable number (1-1000) of electrons. The electronic structure of quantum dots, including the energy quan tization of the single-particle states (due to spatial confinement) and the evolution of these (Fock-Darwin) states in an increasing external magnetic field, is described. The properties of many-electron systems confined in a dot are also studied. This includes the separation of the center-of-mass mo tion for the parabolic confining potential (and hence the insensitivity of the transitions under far infrared radiation to the Coulomb interactions and the number of particles - the generalized Kohn theorem) and the effects due to Coulomb interactions (formation of the incompressible magic states at high magnetic fields and their relation to composite jermions), and finally the spin-orbit interactions. In addition, the excitonic properties of quantum dots are discussed, including the energy levels and the spectral function of a single exciton, the relaxation of confined carriers, the metastable states and their effect on the photoluminescence spectrum, the interaction of an exciton with carriers, and exciton condensation. The theoretical part of this work, which is based largely on original re sults obtained by the authors, has been supplemented with descriptions of various methods of creating quantum-dot structures.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation focuses on the optical properties of single InAs/GaAs quantum dot molecules. A quantum dot molecule consists of a pair of quantum dots coupled by a nanometer scale tunneling barrier. Compared to single quantum dots, quantum dot molecules provide greatly enhanced versatility - with the ease of an electric field control, one gains broad flexibility to tune electronic energy levels and manipulate particle tunneling within a QDM. As a consequence, individual QDMs are being intensely studied as controllable interfaces of charge, spin and photonic quantum states at the single particle level. On the other hand, phonons - the quantized vibrations of the underlying crystal lattice - have mostly been left outside the realm of coherent control. In the domain of solid-state quantum technologies, the ubiquitous phonons are mainly considered for the limitations they impose. Omnipresent electron-phonon interactions and the predominantly dissipative nature of phonons are typically a major source of decoherence of the atom-like quantum states hosted by low-dimensional solid-state structures, such as QDMs. Here, we report experimental and theoretical results on the interactions between charges, photons and phonons in electric field tunable quantum dot molecules. Using an effective mass perturbation model, we compute the low energy biexciton states of a quantum dot molecule and apply them to provide a theoretical description of the dipole-dipole interaction between two excitons occupying separate dots in a quantum dot molecule. The expected properties of these so called dipolar states are presented, and we highlight their potential application as a switch for manipulating the transition energy and tunneling properties of the ground state neutral exciton. We then present results from a comprehensive investigation of the quantum confined Stark effect in quantum dot molecules, in which we studied the electric-field dependent energy shifts of exciton states as a function of the tunneling barrier width. Our experimental and computational results reveal that molecular wavefunction formation in quantum dot molecules strongly affects the quantum confined Stark effect, even as the dots are tuned far from resonance for particle tunneling. This dissertation culminates with our report of a novel mechanism by which phonons are made non-dissipative and coherent via electric field control and the optically driven formation of a molecular polaron in a quantum dot molecule. The coherent interaction of a single optical phonon with individual electronic states is revealed via a Fano-type quantum interference that produces a phonon-induced transparency in the optical absorption of individual quantum dot molecules. Experimentally, we find that the transparency is widely tunable by electronic and optical means, and provides a mechanism for amplifying weak coupling channels. This work is significant in that it demonstrates a specific mechanism by which typically incoherent and dissipative phonons are made to behave in a coherent and non-dissipative manner. As such, we demonstrate that phonons may enter the realm of mutual control of quantum states on the single particle level, which so far has been dominated by photons, electrons and spins.
Book Synopsis Transport and Decoherence Phenomena in Quantum Dots by : Kai Xi Wang

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of a few electronic level coupling to an environmental heat bath, such as in quantum dots (QDs), is well-known in modern quantum physics. These systems have been widely studied as they can dictate the dephasing properties in many practical opto-electronic devices. In this thesis we focus on the electron-phonon (quantized lattice vibrations) coupling in QDs that are embedded within semiconductor nanowires. For interband optical transitions, the electron-phonon interactions are treated using a cumulant expansion approach which includes the non-Markovian dynamics. Both the longitudinal optical (LO) and longitudinal acoustic (LA) phonons are included, and structural variations of the QDs are investigated, which, typically the LO phonons and structural asymmetry have been neglected in the literature. We find that the linewidth can have variations on three orders of magnitude when changing the QD geometry due to LO phonon interactions, which obviously has significant implications in mitigating phonon-induced dephasing. Comparison to experimental results is shown for validation of the theoretical model. Finally, we elucidate these effects for single photon emitters composed of different materials. In the intersublevel regime, we study the electron transport dynamics in a quantum dot cascade laser (QDCL), which is a promising candidate as the semiconductor gain medium for THz lasing. The quantum kinetics are included by means of an intuitive and accurate density matrix approach, valid for weak to intermediate e-phonon interaction strength. We find that at low temperatures, the LA phonons can help to inject electrons into the upper lasing state. We believe these findings should be considered and utilized in future opto-electronic device designs.

Download or read book Electron-Phonon Interaction in Optically-Pumped Semiconductor Quantum Wells written by Bruce D. McCombe and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of the electron-optical-phonon interaction in polar semiconductors is well-recognized, and for bulk semiconductors it is reasonably well-understood. The situation for quasi-two-dimensional electronic systems is much less clear, and a number of experiments carried out on systems with large electron densities have yielded apparently conflicting results. The present three year project has been directed at clarifying the situation by investigating confined systems with low electron densities, for which single particle theories are expected to be valid. Experiments were carried out at low temperatures (4.2K -60K) on several GaAs/AlGaAs multiple-quantum-well (MQW) samples with well widths between 125 angstroms and 450 angstroms. Most samples were lightly doped in the centers of the wells with Si donors; one undoped sample was also investigated in the interband optical measurements. Three separate resonant magneto-optical experiments were carried out in the course of this work. (rh).
