We have studied emission properties of high-density excitons in single-walled carbon nanotubes through nonlinear photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy. As the excitation intensity was increased, all emission peaks arising from different…
Free electrons or holes can mediate the nonradiative recombination of excitons in carbon nanotubes. Kinematic constraints arising from the quasi one-dimensional nature of excitons and charge carriers lead to a thermal activation barrier for…
We show that the absorption spectrum in semiconducting nanotubes can be determined using the bosonization technique combined with mean-field theory and a harmonic approximation. Our results indicate that a multiple band semiconducting…
The optical absorption spectrum of the carbon (4,2) nanotube is computed using an ab-initio many-body approach which takes into account excitonic effects. We develop a new method involving a local basis set which is symmetric with respect…
We implement externally excited ZnO Mie resonators in a framework of a generalized Hubbard Hamiltonian to investigate the lifetimes of excitons and exciton-polaritons out of thermodynamical equilibrium. Our results are derived by a…
Linear and nonlinear optical properties of low dimensional nanostructures have attracted a large interest in the scientific community as tools to probe the strong confinement of the electrons and for possible applications in optoelectronic…
For a single semiconductor quantum dot embedded in a microcavity, we theoretically and experimentally investigate phonon-assisted transitions between excitons and the cavity mode. Within the framework of the independent boson model we find…
We calculate the optical properties of carbon nanotubes in an external static electric field directed along the tube axis. We predict strong Franz-Keldysh oscillations in the first and second band-to-band absorption peaks, quadratic Stark…
We measured the intrinsic ground-state exciton dephasing and population dynamics in colloidal quasi two-dimensional (2D) CdSe nanoplatelets at low temperature (5-50K) using transient resonant four-wave mixing in heterodyne detection. Our…
In semiconductor materials, hot exciton cooling is the process by which highly excited carriers nonradiatively relax to form a band edge exciton. While cooling plays an important role in determining the thermal losses and quantum yield of a…
We report optical studies of quantum dot excitons in individual suspended carbon nanotubes at cryogenic temperatures. Narrow optical linewidths, strongly suppressed spectral wandering, and photoluminescence lifetimes in the range of…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to examine the phonon lifetimes in (10,10) carbon nano-tubes (CNTs), both when isolated and when supported on amorphous SiO2 substrates. We deter-mine the Umklapp, normal, boundary and CNT-substrate…
Using pre-designed trains of femtosecond optical pulses, we have selectively excited coherent phonons of the radial breathing mode of specific-chirality single-walled carbon nanotubes within an ensemble sample. By analyzing the initial…
The picosecond dynamics of excitons in colloidal CdSe nanorods are directly measured via their 1s to 2p-like internal transitions by ultra-broadband terahertz spectroscopy. Broadened absorption peaks from both the longitudinal and…
The interplay between discrete vibrational and electronic degrees of freedom directly influences the chemical and physical properties of molecular systems. This coupling is typically studied through optical methods such as fluorescence,…
Many-electron effects often dramatically modify the properties of reduced dimensional systems. We report calculations, based on an many-electron Green's function approach, of electron-hole interaction effects on the optical spectra of…
Using a new time-resolved cathodoluminescence system dedicated to the UV spectral range, we present a first estimate of the radiative lifetime of free excitons in hBN at room temperature. This is carried out from a single experiment giving…
Single walled carbon nanotubes with Pd ohmic contacts and lengths ranging from several microns down to 10 nm are investigated by electron transport experiments and theory. The mean free path (mfp) for acoustic phonon scattering is estimated…
A simple microscopic mechanism explaining the linear dependence of the radiative lifetime of free-moving two-dimensional excitons on their effective temperature is suggested. It is shown that there exists a characteristic effective…
Spatiotemporal dynamics of excitons in isolated semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied using transient absorption microscopy. Differential reflection and transmission of an 810-nm probe pulse after excitation by a 750-nm…
