Femtosecond chirp-free studies of energy relaxation in semiconductor quantum dots: Search for a phonon bottleneck

Conference Klimov, V ; McBranch, D

Contrary to the predictions of phonon bottleneck theories, we observe very fast subpicosecond energy relaxation in strongly confined semiconductor nanocrystals with electron level spacing as large as 20 LO phonon energies.

Phonon bottleneck in p-type Ge/Si quantum dots

Journal Article Yakimov, A. I., E-mail: yakimov@isp.nsc.ru ; Tomsk State University, 634050 Tomsk ; Kirienko, V. V. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We study the effect of quantum dot size on the mid-infrared photo- and dark current, photoconductive gain, and hole capture probability in ten-period p-type Ge/Si quantum dot heterostructures. The dot dimensions are varied by changing the Ge coverage and the growth temperature during molecular beam epitaxy of Ge/Si(001) system in the Stranski-Krastanov growth mode. In all samples, we observed the general tendency: with decreasing the size of the dots, the dark current and hole capture probability are reduced, while the photoconductive gain and photoresponse are enhanced. Suppression of the hole capture probability in small-sized quantum dots is attributed to amore »« less

Phonon bottleneck in GaAs/Al{sub x}Ga{sub 1−x}As quantum dots

Journal Article Chang, Y. C. ; Robson, A. J. ; Harrison, S. ; ... - AIP Advances

We report low-temperature photoluminescence measurements on highly-uniform GaAs/Al{sub x}Ga{sub 1−x}As quantum dots grown by droplet epitaxy. Recombination between confined electrons and holes bound to carbon acceptors in the dots allow us to determine the energies of the confined states in the system, as confirmed by effective mass calculations. The presence of acceptor-bound holes in the quantum dots gives rise to a striking observation of the phonon-bottleneck effect.

Zeno-logic applications of semiconductor quantum dots

Journal Article Schneebeli, L ; Peyghambarian, N ; Feldtmann, T ; ... - Physical Review. A

Microscopic calculations show that CdSe-based semiconductor quantum dots with confined exciton and biexciton states are suitable candidates for Zeno-logic applications. The frequencies of the control and signal fields are chosen to guarantee very high transmission of the individual beams. If both fields are present simultaneously, they are strongly absorbed due to efficient ground-state-to-biexciton transitions. The optical Bloch equations for a three-level quantum-dot model with self-consistent light-matter coupling are solved numerically. The influence of dephasing and/or inhomogeneous dot distributions is analyzed and the conditions for satisfactory device operation are identified.
