We calculate the lifetime of conduction band excited states in self-assembled quantum dots by taking into account LO-phonon-electron interaction and various anharmonic phonon couplings. We show that polaron relaxation cannot be accurately…
The decay time of the linear polarization degree of the luminescence in strongly confined semiconductor quantum dots with asymmetrical shape is calculated in the frame of second-order quasielastic interaction between quantum dot charge…
We report a theoretical study of the carrier relaxation in a quantum cascade laser (QCL) subjected to a strong magnetic field. Both the alloy (GaInAs) disorder effects and the Frohlich interaction are taken into account when the electron…
We use a configuration-interaction approach and Fermi golden rule to investigate electron-phonon interaction in realistic multi-electron quantum dots. Lifetimes are computed in the low-density, highly correlated regime. We report numerical…
We compute the transient dynamics of phonons in contact with high energy "hot" charge carriers in 12 polar and non-polar semiconductors, using a first-principles Boltzmann transport framework. For most materials, we find that the decay in…
We present a semi-analytic and asymptotically exact solution to the problem of phonon-induced decoherence in a quantum dot-microcavity system. Particular emphasis is placed on the linear polarization and optical absorption, but the approach…
Matrix-operator difference-differential equations for dynamics of spectroscopic transitions in 1D multiqubit exchange coupled (para)magnetic and optical systems by strong dipole-photon and dipole-phonon coupling are derived within the…
Analysis of an exactly soluble model of phonons coupled to a carrier in a quantum dot provides a clear illustration of a phonon bottleneck to relaxation. The introduction of three-phonon interactions leads to a broad window for relaxation…
While time-dependent perturbation theory shows inefficient carrier-phonon scattering in semiconductor quantum dots, we demonstrate that a quantum kinetic description of carrier-phonon interaction predicts fast carrier capture and…
Optical transitions in a semiconductor quantum dot are theoretically investigated, with emphasis on the coupling to longitudinal optical phonons, and including excitonic effects. When limiting to a finite number of $m$ electron and $n$ hole…
We theoretically study the relaxation of electron orbital states of a double quantum dot system due to two-phonon processes. In particular, we calculate how the relaxation rates depend on the separation distance between the quantum dots,…
The polaron features for long-range electron-phonon interaction are investigated by extending a variational approach previously proposed for the study of systems with local coupling. The ground-state spectral weight, the average kinetic…
Electron relaxation in quantum dots is studied theoretically in polar semiconductor materials, with an emphasis put on the phonon-bottleneck problem and electron-LO-phonon coupling. The theory is based on multiphonon states of the…
Electron-electron thermalization and electron-phonon relaxation processes in laser-excited solids are often assumed to occur on different timescales. This is true for the majority of the conduction band electrons in a metal. However,…
A nonperturbative theory of multiphonon anharmonic decay of strongly excited local mode is developed whereby the mode is considered classically and phonons, quantum mechanically. The decay rate of the mode is expressed via the negative…
We propose a mechanism of energy relaxation for carriers confined in a non-polar quantum dot surrounded by an amorphous polar environment. The carrier transitions are due to their interaction with the oscillating electric field induced by…
A microscopic theory of optical transitions in quantum dots with carrier-phonon interaction is developed. Virtual transitions into higher confined states with acoustic phonon assistance add a quadratic phonon coupling to the standard linear…
We calculate the low temperature properties of an acoustic polaron in three dimensions in thermal equilibrium at a given temperature using a specialized path integral Monte Carlo method. In particular we find numerical evidence that the…
Interpretation of experiments on quantum dot (QD) lasers presents a challenge: the phonon bottleneck, which should strongly suppress relaxation and dephasing of the discrete energy states, often seems to be inoperative. We suggest and…
We consider transport through a vibrating molecular quantum dot contacted to macroscopic leads acting as charge reservoirs. In the equilibrium and nonequilibrium regime, we study the formation of a polaron-like transient state at the…
