Book Time Resolved Electronic Relaxation Processes in Self Organized Quantum Dots

Download or read book Time Resolved Electronic Relaxation Processes in Self Organized Quantum Dots written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors have performed a comprehensive set of experiments on the dynamics of electrons and holes in semiconductor quantum dots, and a complete picture of the dynamics as a function of carrier density and temperature has emerged. Specifically, they have used two- and three-pulse femtosecond differential transmission spectroscopy to study the dependence of quantum dot carrier dynamics on temperature. At low temperatures and densities, the rates for relaxation between the quantum dot confined states and for capture from the barrier region into the various dot levels could be directly determined. For electron-hole pairs generated directly in the quantum dot excited state, relaxation is dominated by electron-hole scattering, and occurs on a 5-ps time scale. Capture times from the barrier into the quantum dot are on the order of 2 ps (into the excited state) and 10 ps (into the ground state). The phonon bottleneck was clearly observed in low-density capture experiments, and the conditions for its observation (namely, the suppression of electron-hole scattering for non-geminately captured electrons) were determined. As temperature increases beyond about 100 K, the dynamics become dominated by the reemission of carriers from the lower dot levels due to the large density of states in the wetting layer and barrier region. Measurements of the gain dynamics show fast (130-fs) gain recovery due to intradot carrier-carrier scattering, and picosecond-scale capture. Direct measurement of the transparency density versus temperature shows the dramatic effect of carrier reemission for the quantum dots to thermally activated scattering. The carrier dynamics at elevated temperatures are thus strongly dominated by the high density of the high-energy continuum states relative to the dot-confined levels. Deleterious hot carrier effects can be suppressed in quantum dot lasers by resonant tunneling injection.

Book Capture and Relaxation in Self Assembled Semiconductor Quantum Dots

Download or read book Capture and Relaxation in Self Assembled Semiconductor Quantum Dots written by Robson Ferreira and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an overview of different models and mechanisms developed to describe the capture and relaxation of carriers in quantum-dot systems. Despite their undisputed importance, the mechanisms leading to population and energy exchanges between a quantum dot and its environment are not yet fully understood. The authors develop a first-order approach to such effects, using elementary quantum mechanics and an introduction to the physics of semiconductors. The book results from a series of lectures given by the authors at the Master’s level.

Book Carrier Relaxation Dynamics in Self Assembled Quantum Dots

Download or read book Carrier Relaxation Dynamics in Self Assembled Quantum Dots written by V. Davydov and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel technique to study carrier relaxation dynamics based on the artificial control of nonradiative losses by an external electric field is proposed. A clear evidence of phonon assisted relaxation as the main relaxation mechanism of hot electron-hole pairs in InP self-assembled quantum dots is found by the proposed method. Efficient one step relaxation processes with emission of acoustic and optical phonons are observed. These findings give new and important insight into the interaction of the electron-hole pairs in quantum dots with the phono subsystem.

Recent developments in fabrication techniques are reviewed and potential applications discussed. This book will serve not only as an introductory textbook for graduate students but also as a concise guide for active researchers.

Book Towards Solid State Quantum Repeaters

Download or read book Towards Solid State Quantum Repeaters written by Kristiaan De Greve and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards Solid-State Quantum Repeaters: Ultrafast, Coherent Optical Control and Spin-Photon Entanglement in Charged InAs Quantum Dots summarizes several state-of-the-art coherent spin manipulation experiments in III-V quantum dots. Both high-fidelity optical manipulation, decoherence due to nuclear spins and the spin coherence extraction are discussed, as is the generation of entanglement between a single spin qubit and a photonic qubit. The experimental results are analyzed and discussed in the context of future quantum technologies, such as quantum repeaters. Single spins in optically active semiconductor host materials have emerged as leading candidates for quantum information processing (QIP). The quantum nature of the spin allows for encoding of stationary, memory quantum bits (qubits), and the relatively weak interaction with the host material preserves the spin coherence. On the other hand, optically active host materials permit direct interfacing with light, which can be used for all-optical qubit manipulation, and for efficiently mapping matter qubits into photonic qubits that are suited for long-distance quantum communication.

Book Dynamics of Quantum Dot Lasers

Download or read book Dynamics of Quantum Dot Lasers written by Christian Otto and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with the dynamics of state-of-the-art nanophotonic semiconductor structures, providing essential information on fundamental aspects of nonlinear dynamical systems on the one hand, and technological applications in modern telecommunication on the other. Three different complex laser structures are considered in detail: (i) a quantum-dot-based semiconductor laser under optical injection from a master laser, (ii) a quantum-dot laser with optical feedback from an external resonator, and (iii) a passively mode-locked quantum-well semiconductor laser with saturable absorber under optical feedback from an external resonator. Using a broad spectrum of methods, both numerical and analytical, this work achieves new fundamental insights into the interplay of microscopically based nonlinear laser dynamics and optical perturbations by delayed feedback and injection.

Book Exciton Dynamics in Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals

Download or read book Exciton Dynamics in Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals written by Bernhard Johann Bohn and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Less than a decade ago, lead halide perovskite semiconductors caused a sensation: Solar cells exhibiting astonishingly high levels of efficiency. Recently, it became possible to synthesize nanocrystals of this material as well. Interestingly; simply by controlling the size and shape of these crystals, new aspects of this material literally came to light. These nanocrystals have proven to be interesting candidates for light emission. In this thesis, the recombination, dephasing and diffusion of excitons in perovskite nanocrystals is investigated using time-resolved spectroscopy. All these dynamic processes have a direct impact on the light-emitting device performance from a technology point of view. However, most importantly, the insights gained from the measurements allowed the author to modify the nanocrystals such that they emitted with an unprecedented quantum yield in the blue spectral range, resulting in the successful implementation of this material as the active layer in an LED. This represents a technological breakthrough, because efficient perovskite light emitters in this wavelength range did not exist before.
